A heated exchange unfolded between Fox News' Martha MacCallum and Senator Chris Coons as they discussed Elon Musk's remarks regarding alleged waste, fraud, and abuse in the Social Security Administration. MacCallum challenged Coons on the implications of these allegations, to which Coons responded by highlighting the lack of credible evidence for such claims and referencing authoritative sources that contradict Musk's assertions. The debate underscored the tension around the perceived financial stability of Social Security and showcased differing perspectives on accountability within the agency.
So, Martha, not only do I not believe some of what was just shared there, but the Trump administration's acting administrator of Social Security has said that less than one-tenth of one percent of the payments put out by the Social Security administration are fraudulent or in error.
You sound like you're pretty okay with all the agencies and how they function. So you say all those millions of people depend on Social Security, so you don't care about the ones that are going to never get it because it's going to be insolvent in 10 years.
Martha, you are presuming widespread waste, fraud, and abuse in Social Security, answered Coons. You haven't offered any credible evidence to support that.
Because I've had senior folks from DOGE lie to my face about other federal agencies where they claim they have widespread waste, fraud, and abuse where previous audits did not find that waste, fraud, and abuse.
