(Worthy Satire) – In a move that sent shockwaves through Washington, President Donald Trump proudly announced that 275,000 illegal aliens have been scrubbed from Social Security records along with 12.4 million dead people — some of whom have been “receiving” benefits longer than most Americans have been alive.
The White House described the operation as “the largest exorcism of zombie beneficiaries in government history.”
But not everyone is celebrating. Democrats immediately condemned the purge, arguing that death should not disqualify someone from collecting government checks.
“Just because Grandma’s been dead for 47 years doesn’t mean she shouldn’t continue receiving her well-earned benefits,” said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who called the move “heartless corpse-shaming.”
Some progressives even introduced emergency legislation dubbed the “Post-Life Benefits Act”, ensuring that anyone under 120 years old — living or dead — should still qualify for payments.
Senator Elizabeth Warren blasted the cleanup as an assault on “death pay,” a sacred right she claimed was guaranteed in the “undiscovered clauses of the Constitution.”
Meanwhile, Trump celebrated the savings, joking:
“We’ve saved billions of dollars, folks. The dead don’t vote Republican, but apparently they’ve been cashing checks like Democrats for decades.”
Analysts note that while the move may anger party leaders, the Democratic base of centenarian corpses, ghosts, and Chicago’s famous “undead voting bloc” remains strongly in favor of continuing payments.
As one anonymous Democrat strategist put it:
“We must stand up for the rights of the deceased. After all, if we can’t count on dead people to support our programs, who can we count on?”
