Did Democrats hate everything Trump said last night?

They do not even support stopping Social Security checks to dead people.

And they would not give any kudos to that little boy who beat brain cancer.

Are Democrats forced to take the opposite stance on every word Trump utters?

It seems that the right should not care a wit about finding common ground with
the left, since the left will not even consider common ground. They will only
consider the opposite of what Trump says, no matter what.

Part of the confusion surrounding the issue stems from a flaw in Social Security’s software systems. The SSA's records management system has been plagued by a lack of data compatibility, which results in some records displaying inaccurate birthdates. In some cases, this can cause individuals’ ages to be reported as more than 150 years old.

“Their computer systems are antiquated, and as a result, information from one area was not feeding over to another area,” Mauney explained. “That didn't mean that people were actually getting a check. It just means that if you were to go to that particular database, you might see people with some ages that are being counted from way back when they should have been cut off at the year 2000.”

Investigations have already been underway to address these discrepancies. A 2023 audit by the SSA’s Office of the Inspector General revealed that 18.9 million Social Security number holders born in 1920 or earlier were not marked as deceased in the agency's records. Additionally, the U.S. Treasury Department reported it had successfully stopped and recovered more than $31 million in improper Social Security payments to dead people
