To be clear, what the
@DOGE
team and
@USTreasury
have jointly agreed makes sense is the following:

- Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible.

- All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING!

- The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily.

The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from
@DOGE
. It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already!

Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.

When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!!



If you aren’t concerned, outrage or disturbed by the above, then you are being manipulated. We are talking basic…basic risk ops weren’t being followed by the Treasury. If your local financial institution wasn’t doing this the OCC wouldn’t have fined it, but would have shut it down.

I have, probably like many experienced folks with Bi-polar and believe there a range of how bad it can be. I’ve known folks who have suffered and as long as they are on their medication they are well functioning, normal folks.

I’ve also known the other side where a woman refused to take her medicine, developed substance abuse issues. Her not treating it with medication and her family not engaging her more directly to take her medication eventually lead to the death of here teenage son. Because of her decisions. She is crazy because of not treating it.

Kanye suffers from the samething, but it’s his choice and the choice of friends and family who refused to help. It’s terrible

Just strange if he’s always been like this, then how did he elevate to the wealthiest rapper of all time? Rick Rubin and L Cohen were and still are major players in hip hop business. no one is defending his actions but this just wild how he turned on a dime.

Maybe he feels empowered by the Klan like rallies in NYC, DC, Mass, of pro Hamas and anti Israel groups calling on genocide of Jews since Oct 7.
