When I went to the local Social Security office to arrange my retirement payments, I was surprised at how few geezers/geezerttes there were in the waiting room. It seemed like most were young families.
Ok
What seemed like a long time ago, I was a detective assigned to the Fugitive Unit in a major metro department. Every year the US Marshals did, FALCON. Initially, it was a nationwide sweep, lasted for a week and was supposed to be for sex offenders, folks that didn’t register, etc. Morphed into just a sweep of anyone that had warrants, we went after them.
Went to one location, talked to the parents about their 30something child, who still lived with them. Middle class neighborhood. Brand new Hummer in the driveway. 30something pulls up and gets out of his newer sedan, Lincoln, if I remember. Fresh from the gym. Gets put in cuffs and begs that we take it easy with him because he has a bad back and is on SSI. Obviously, not bad enough to keep him from working out and playing basketball all morning.
He’s just one of thousands, if not, millions of examples of people scamming a corrupt system and the taxpayer’s are forced to pay.
And a voter ID card at the same time...tied to a national birth/death database - voided instantly, nationally at time of death.
