The Government explains why the SSA needs this much ammo. And they have even put up a website blog to push the propaganda...

I wonder when is the last time the SSA was involved in a hostile takedown and shoot out in which a SSA agent was shot at or needed to fire their weapon?

Look on the bright side. They bought 174,000 bullets. Unless they’re into reloading, presumably they’ll throw them at people.

The use of hollow point bullets against those suspected of SS fraud might cut down on fraud, waste, and abuse .... and I think we can all agree that the brave men and women of the SSA IG can’t be too protected against the wrath of cane-wielding senior citizens in the killing fields of the SS offices

Talking to NRA(R) engineers at work, I brought up the numbers of ammo a few weeks ago, they told me the ammount of required SSA ammo is not uncommon.

A party whose platform is to freely kill as many babies as possible would have no problem loading me into a boxcar or putting a bullet into the back of my head.

The more Government workers carrying weapons means more Government employees qualifying for retirement at 50 years of age.

My questions is why does every single govt agency need it’s own law enforcement division? The dept of education is a perfect example, and they have a friggen SWAT team!

That’s only 1 box per month. Pretty easy to do that. I go through at least that every week.

Because everyone knows when confronting a widowed oldster fraudulently collecting checks in the name of a deceased spouse one must maximize the wound channel.

295 agents arrest 589 last year; wow I think they have too many agents.

I haven’t been recently, but as I recall, there was an armed guard in the SS office waiting room.

I’ve never been to a shooting range before. So, my question is, does one normally use expensive hollow points there? It seems like such a waste of expensive ammo.

The found only 595 case of fraud leading to arrest?

Thats 2 cases per year per officer

We need an immediate increase in MANDATORY JAIL TERM for government fraud (minimum 10 years) followed by a one-year amnesty and reward program for finding and reporting fraud

Yes, I would agree to amnesty (with restitution) - anything that exposes how fraud is committed- and if one confesses and gets amnesty we will get info on possibly hundreds of other people that are doing the same thing.

Excuse me -

I really don’t know, and I hope that someone here can answer this for me, but does it strike anyone strange that they’re taking hollow points to the gun range?

"We buy hollow points because we buy hollow points", he explained.

The bullets, however, are standard issue for many law enforcement agencies, Lasher said

I think this is somehow part of the Dems’ plan to contain Social Security and Medicare costs.

I think this is very appalling...our Social Security Agents need hollow point bullets but yet our border patrol agents have none! Brian Terry lost his life with guns the government could not track but yet they seem to be able to track the bullets. SO SAD!

Actually, this is the logical extension of the panels that will be determining the ‘life value’ of oldsters like me in order to recommend the proper treatment.

When you get to a certain age and have a serious illness one of the Medicare agents will visit you with a .357 treatment. At this point, they only anticipate about 150,000 treatments per year and the rest of the ammo is for training and the occasional miss if the patient runs.

Shut up and eat your Soylent Green.
