Dear Freepers: I posted the bid request up (as did others) and was castigated by more than a few "nothing to see" type replies, and calling me and others like minded "nutters" and "kooks".

Now we have this absolutely lame explanation by SSA. The section they mention is the Office of Inspector General in their blog page.

On the official SSA career page, located Here: http://oig.ssa.gov/about-oig/careers

The description is as follows: " Types of Inspector General Jobs We have a staff of approximately 600 employees, 70% of whom are criminal investigators and auditors. However, we also employ information technology specialists, attorneys, program analysts, and management analysts."

The auditors are not armed, not in their job desc. that follows.

So, the blog says there are 295 CIs in 66 offices. Site says 70% of 600 is 420. 420-295= 125 AUDITORS!! There's your problem for the fraud and waste... way too few of those for the number of recipients of this monster agency. Good Lord. And THEY need ammo?

295 CIs divided into 174K rounds= 590 rounds apiece. Even with range time that's a hell of a lot of rounds for agents who presumably would rarely fire in line of duty. This stinks.

My suggestion is to send the info in on our dear prez, who has never lived in CT, nor has his presumed parents yet his SS no is from CT. THAT is fraud. That and his illegal auntie with her own number, too.

295 CIs divided into 174K rounds= 590 rounds apiece. Even with range time that's a hell of a lot of rounds for agents who presumably would rarely fire in line of duty. This stinks.

I am by no means defending the administration, or the previous administrations that thought it wise to have armed agents within the Social Security Administration, but 590 rounds apiece is not "a hell of a lot of rounds for agents who presumably would rarely fire in line of duty." Especially if these people spend most of their time desk-bound. I could burn through more than 590 rounds in a weekend. As a matter of fact, I have went through a lot more than that in a weekend.
