John:

All I can say re Social Security is what I know. I am not a believer is what the government puts out.

But I know and have known probably a hundred people who have worked for Social Security. People are running businesses out of there. Many of those I have known were claims examiners and every one recounted that they were pressured to slow down.

It is widely known here that unless you are a Woman or an African American it is next to impossible to get promoted.

I could go on with many other anecdotal stories, but it comes down who am I going to believe the Government or my lying eyes.

I believe my lying eyes.

aging.senate.gov

Depending on who you believe the fraud amounts to 40 Bill to 70 billion, so they clearly are not including the fraud in the administrative costs.
