To hell with that nonsense. The SSA shouldn’t be arresting anyone for anything. Period. Much less thinking of shooting anyone!!

Since Social Security fraud seems to be rampant, it can be said that these folks aren’t working too hard on the arresting part.

Wholy comMoly...the SSA has their own ‘ss’. Dang, just dang, I'm speechless. Having a hard time thinking about this and how it has gained a foothold.

The SSA shouldn’t be arresting anyone for anything.

Don't get so excited. I'm sure the SSA police will be sharing their ammunition with the Medicare SWAT teams.

“These investigators have full law enforcement authority, including executing search warrants and making arrests,” the blog post states. “Our investigators are similar to your State or local police officers.

The hell they are like State or local police. The are Federal tax collectors. If they need police, they can notify the county sheriff to assist and show cause.

They shouldn’t have 295 special agents with law enforcement authority. Period.

Can’t say that I agree with you. Every government hand-out program is rife with fraud and corruption, so every government hand-out program has a separate OIG (investigation units) bureaucracy. You would be surprised how many arrests they make, and the agents are armed for their own protection.

What we need are fewer government programs, so we wouldn’t need all the law enforcement to go with them. It’s just one more example of how government begets more government.

That’s for sure!
