The Small Business Administration (SBA) has been found to have distributed loans worth hundreds of millions of dollars to individuals listed as 11 years old or younger. This revelation came to light through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), with Fox News highlighting the issue. Elon Musk, head of DOGE, shared this information on the social media platform X, pointing to a significant oversight in loan allocations.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the SBA approved 5,593 loans totaling $312 million to borrowers whose only listed owner was extremely young. The department emphasized that while legal business arrangements could potentially involve minors, the likelihood of legitimacy for these loans was slim. They also noted the misuse of Social Security numbers with incorrect names in these cases.
Both the SBA and DOGE are currently investigating this serious matter. The Epoch Times reached out to the SBA for comment on March 9 but had not received a response by the time of publication. The situation has raised eyebrows and calls for a more thorough examination of the processes that allowed such errors.
In another startling finding, DOGE reported that the SBA issued 3,095 loans totaling $333 million to individuals reportedly over 115 years old. These recipients were noted as alive in the Social Security database, with one reportedly 157-year-old individual receiving $36,000. This includes funds from the Paycheck Protection Program and an Economic Injury Disaster Loan.
Additionally, DOGE revealed the cancellation of a $10.3 million Department of Agriculture contract. This contract aimed to identify unnecessary agreements and was one of 162 terminated for being non-essential. DOGE’s efforts to streamline and cut waste in federal spending have been ongoing under the Trump administration.
Despite these efforts, DOGE has faced several legal challenges questioning its authority and Musk’s involvement. On March 7, a coalition of labor unions filed a request for an emergency order to stop DOGE from accessing Social Security data. This move reflects growing concerns over privacy and data management.
Democracy Forward, a legal services group, filed a petition in federal court in Maryland against the Social Security Administration. They aim to prevent DOGE from accessing vast collections of personal data. The unions argue that DOGE’s methods raise significant privacy issues.
Judges have been divided on DOGE’s aggressive cost-cutting measures, often pointing to the lack of transparency in their operations. However, some courts have not been convinced that the risks posed by DOGE’s actions are immediate enough to warrant blocking their access to government data. The Trump administration maintains that these actions are crucial for eliminating governmental waste.
DOGE’s initiatives are part of a broader strategy to identify and reduce inefficiencies in federal agencies. Their work has been both lauded and criticized, reflecting the complex nature of government reform. The drive to eradicate fraud and excessive spending remains central to their mission.
Public reaction to these revelations has been mixed, with some praising the focus on accountability. Others, however, express concern over the methods and potential overreach of DOGE’s investigations. The debate highlights the challenges of reforming entrenched systems.
Supporters of DOGE argue that such oversight is necessary to hold government accountable and ensure taxpayer dollars are wisely spent. They believe that initiatives like these are long overdue and essential for a leaner government. Critics, however, fear potential overreach and lack of safeguards.
The ongoing legal battles may shape the future of DOGE and its ability to access critical data. As the investigations continue, the focus remains on balancing efficiency with privacy and legality. The outcomes of these proceedings could set important precedents for government oversight.
In the meantime, SBA’s handling of pandemic-related loans is under intense scrutiny. The need for accurate and responsible allocation of resources has never been more urgent. As more details emerge, there will likely be increased calls for transparency and accountability.
What kind of bullshit is that where a Communist Judge would rule against DOGE finding that 11 year Olds and younger relieved $$.?
While a 175 Year old relieved $$ and those Communist Judges think that’s normal.?
Just who is pocketing that money.? Are those Communist Democrats using that kind of $$ to buy votes and paying their bills at the expense of the taxpayers.?
look at how they’re using profanity and protesting against President Trump and Elon Musk to shut down DOGE and the stupidest Communist voters are standing with the Communist protesting along with them.!
Schumer and Waters are pushing the hatred towards President Trump at levels beyond belief.
Assassin’s becoming more aggressive towards the President and Musk, unauthorized planes flying over Mara Lago, the Secret Service scrambling to protect the President, the Communist MSM making things worse, Illhan Omar working against ICE to protect illegals.!
And Very stupid public dumbasses are supporting that kind of crap.!
Do those Communist Voters ever wander what the Communist Democrats were doing to destroy America and force them into Slavery.?
It’s an attack on American’s, plain and simple and only those who can’t think for themselves or use common sense are extentions and robots of the Communist Democrats.
We need Devine intervention more than ever.
Brother Michael, I totally agree and this is all spot-on!
“We need Devine intervention more than ever.”
Absolutely more than ever in human history, it’s needed!
The “corruption and lies in our government and society” as a whole is “over the top” and in plain terms on the edge of making this “Hell on Earth!”
I can’t believe the level of evil that we are seeing in supposed leadership, these “vile creatures” posing as “Congressional leadership” and “only doing what promotes their Agenda of EVIL,” not one good thing! They are “Evil Personified” and how they’re not being indicted, prosecuted and locked away for good is so baffling and outrageously WRONG! This cannot go on and “MUST be STOPPED!”
I’m praying that all those who are exposing this overt diabolical corruption along with all that are on the side of good will be joined together as an “insurmountable force” that will get the job done once and for all! These renegade obviously Anti-American, Anti-Morality, Anti-God Almighty judges have to be rounded up and locked away in GITMO NOW! Anyone that can’t see that they are “huge enemies of America and We the People” are obviously not right in their heads, hearts and souls; but regardless of any of that this must be stopped whether they understand or not! And the longer this goes on unabated the worse it will get by exponential factors!
“We the People along with our Great Country” don’t have much more time left to “change the paradigm” that has been set in motion to destroy America and God’s faithful! I ask God in Jesus’ name to End all of this evil by “divine intervention,” or even “instruct those who can make a great difference and change the course of these events to be blessed to do it!”
This world we live in is greatly influenced by Lucifer, who is the Prince of it and all Darkness, and we see the feverish pace that he is influencing destruction and all manner of evils; now that End Time draws closer!
God bless and help us!
Amen.
Some insider who knew about the lax verification of these loans got some people together and arranged to have these disbursements made. Names didn’t match Social Security numbers and no one probably checked the addresses or banks involved. Giant scam under the dems watch– or should I say one more giant scam? DOGE is doing its job, now the FBI and DOJ needs to root out how these people accomplished this and start making arrests. No wonder the libs are pressing Trump and Musk! Their scams are about to blow up in their faces.
correct .. and the people that really did need the help , never got it .. shameful
I am so glad some eyebrows were raised…seems to be the same line for all of the fraud, waste and abuse of our taxpayer’s monies that those in government allowed to happen. “Eyebrows were raised.” “How did this happen and just who is responsible?”, then nothing happens, as the propaganda networks distract everyone as much as they can from the real issue, and most of those in congress are 100x millionaires, that never created anything. We have been fleeced and are bankrupt! Next.
I share something I just wrote regarding the even bigger picture!
Much of what our society is now engaged in is desensitizing humanity making them all a mere commodity or like they used to say “just another number;” (digital realm number sequences and algorithms) making society and all of us just numbers, converting or transforming this world into all numbers in the cyber cloud where AI will rule, the catch being, only all of it is being drawn away from the “Genuine Truth” toward a “Monstrous Falsehood” that will take control and be presented as the Absolute Truth or God. Only it will all be a lie from the “father of all lies” via the actual Antichrist; as this world is locked up in an “Antichrist (anti God) movement now, and most either don’t believe this or know it, while many others welcome it, as evil is running rampant in this growing evermore inhuman, artificial and cultish world.
The art of lying is so prevalent now and the lying is so prolific and abounding throughout that it’s become “a game of trying to outdo the other liars,” “a false society of lying and exploitation;” literally absolute madness!
There is so much ‘pseudoscience’ abounding as more and more groups, individuals, Mass Media and Governments look to exploit the public’s curiosity or fascination with especially many tragic or morbid happenings. All of it cannon fodder as I see it in this giant game and war to “get more control away from individuals, societies and actually all humanity;” putting it all in the clutches of one powerful entity!
We’re all now living in a very sick, twisted and evil material world today that’s, using the old cliché, “going to hell in a hand basket.” This is why I gave up “playing the fool” and being sucked in or tagging along in the so called “Digital Empire” with my essays, “playing along” or “going along to get along,” becoming more like “a dog chasing its own tail” but, then I saw how “everyone is being played” and this is all heading to a horrible conclusion!
People are investing so much of themselves and spending enormous amounts of time in this “false veneer world” to the point where it’s like the old adage, “chasing rainbows” and thinking they are doing something when they aren’t really doing anything, “a landscape of delusion and a mesmerizing flood of thoughts, words and imagery” that is leading them “further away from the genuine truth” that “any human being actually needs more than anything before they reach their own expiration date!” Meanwhile giving away too much of themselves; out into the vast madness!
“God Almighty” through “His words in the Holy Scriptures” is the only truth” that actually matters in the end” because “without knowing His truth for each of us,” we might as well be “lost at sea in a sinking dinghy” where all that can be seen in all directions is “ocean surrounded by a vast distant horizon!”
God bless you and yours,
Amen.
Brother in-Christ Jesus-Lawrence
High Crimes and Misdemeanors seems would apply as described under the U.S. Constitution Impeachment Clause Article II, Section 4; in removing these derelict evil Congressional Members from office and to finally start prosecuting these evil scums such as Schumer, Waters and Pilosi; all of which have no business being in this Country let alone being in the U.S. Congress!!! The violence that they previously fomented which already caused two assassination attempts on President Trump that failed, which apparently they are still doing with their blatant inciting rhetoric hate speech to kill President Trump, should have had them already snapped up and tossed into GITMO long before now! And that Somali piece of crap PUNK Anti-American Jew hating Idiot Criminal traitor representative for Communist (Tampon Tim) Minnesota Omar, should be in prison already!
This is just showing how bad BOTH sides are ! No, i am no lover of the Democrats, but the republicans didnt catch any of this either ! And it is sad to say , but i really feel that nobody will actually be held accountable ! Last year the CBO found 516 Billion in annual spending , that was going to EXPIRED programs ! One had expired in 1980, a few had expired 10 or so years ago, NOTHING was done !
ted, I hear you! Look we are just the serfs out here in the real world while all these higher ups live it up and live in their own bubble! We’d have to be totally out-to-lunch to not see that “all of them” are on the inside and have to “know what’s going on behind the curtain.”
So yes, I think there is “no doubt they’re all culpable,” but Demoncraps are so wicked and evil in “their arrogance and over the top displays of hate, treason and contempt for the little people,” that’s us! “They don’t even care what we think or if we are duped anymore” because “they place themselves above all of us” and “don’t give a rat’s ass!”
Someone like Mumbles Mitch McConnell a head honcho for years in the GOP is just as dirty as the rest; even the Demoncraps! What is really so disgusting is how they’ve all known “the Nation and being fleeced” and have all laughed all the way to the bank as the whole system is collapsing!
Hate to say it but an adage my own Dad always mentioned about the political arena and the system is, “It’s Too Far Gone!” And “It may very well be” I think!
sorry *Nation is being fleeced
Watching Democrats vote FOR waste and corruption. Pink dresses have always been a winning debate asset.
