Social Security is promoting Social Insecurity

The Social Security System, a giant totem that liberals uphold and look to. A symbol of so called reforms by the former dictator FDR and his new sham. We are told over and over by liberals that Social Security is for helping the weak, the old and infirm. It is a symbol of enlightenment. But don't you dare say a word about it. Social security is not only beloved, it is a third rail in politics. Don't you dare speak out against it.

Thankfully I'm not a member of congress, (yet) So I think I will discuss some of the trite involved in SS. You are of course familiar with my essays on the Social Security Administration robbing people using the SSI scam. But imagine what a chore it is to deal with SSA and those who work in it...

For Deedee Morgan, a retired homemaker who lives with her daughter in Brunswick Maine, it is a huge chore, not just getting benefits, but making sure they are handled correctly. Deedee suffers from Arthritis and impaired eyesight. She is legally blind and has difficulty seeing. When she and her daughter applied for SSI benefits they waited 6 months and then were turned down.

Deedee's daughter got an attorney to fight for her mother but it took another 3 months to get benefits. TO make the situation worse, Deedee did not get the right amount. Recipients who live with relatives receive 450 a month while independents live with 680 a month. Deedee only got 310. It took another month of trials to get the right amount and another 3 months to get back payment. Then they had to get retroactive funds, find a suitable rep payee ETC.

In total it took just over a year for Social Security to get their act together, and that was only because the courts forced them too.

For others there are other struggles. 38 year old Michelle from Boston received SSI for psychiatric disabilities that kept her from being gainfully employed. Her payee abused her funds, called her the N word and caused her nearly become homeless. Michelle had no food and clean cloths and had to rely 100% on services from the Salvation Army, the Boston Rescue mission and other local non profit charities. This, while an organization receiving taxpayer federal funds did nothing.

Enter Liberty Task Force and its founder, Michael Hornsby. Michelle was referred to LTF by a family friend who immediately got on the phone with an attorney and confronted the payee and the organization she worked for. They caved and it took only 2 weeks for Michelle to receive full payments and have her rent paid. Michelle has completed budget counselling courses and now manages her own money.

Many times Social Security imposes rep payees on people who don't need them. We told you the story of Kyle Prince, a resident of Omaha Nebraska who was defrauded by his former payee. Despite knowing how to manage money, the SSA wanted him to have the payee again. Nebraska Legal Aid put an end to the meddling by SSA.

Incredibly, Social Security will impose needless rep payees on those who don't need them while ignoring those who do. In many run down urban areas, homeless people with addictions and severe mental illness are getting upwards of over 1000$ a month! All of which goes to drugs and alcohol. Way to go BIG government!

To promote efficiency Supposedly, The SSA is now giving away ATM cards to its recipients for easy and secure access to cash.

The problem is though losing it. It takes an average of 2 weeks for a replacement to arrive. Contrast this to a normal ATM card by Bank Of America or some other establishment which takes an average of 3 to 7 days. They even Mail overnight if all else fails. Social Security doesn't do that.

Whats even worse is that SSA is expensive and wasteful. For every taxpayer dollar going to SSA, 60%-90% is skimmed off the top for so called administrative purposes. In addition, many received SSI SSDI who do not really need it at all! Its either because the jobs they could be working at have gone away (thanks to liberals and their taxes and big government regulations) Others, they have self esteem issues and then there are those who fake disability and are too lazy.

Then there are also those mentioned before who are victims of SSI scamming and theft. Disabled and those wrongfully and unjustly labeled disabled who have their assets and property taken from them.

What to do about social security? What is the real answer?

The real answer is simple. Suck up, throw out political correctness and shut it down!

A long time ago, the family and the church was the social security system. Everyone knew then that a village was not the answer, it took a family and a church. In those days when there were few taxes, welfare was supported by tithing Christians. 10% of their incomes went to aid the poor and suffering. They could easily tell the difference between a invalid deserving beggar and a beggar who was sturdy and undeserving and who merely needed guidance.

This was a time when men could decide where to go into business, before liberal meddling and when the individual was respected. Today that has disappeared and instead, a ruthless heartless communist government cares for us against our will. Until we return to the Bible and Faith in God, this will continue.

And we are deficits and national debt is getting worse...
