DOGE says its saving $100 billion. But it's about to lose a lot more. Cuts to the IRS will backfire and add to the deficit by giving tax evaders a free pass. My latest in @postopinions.bsky.social s Link here: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants." In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.
