It’s a near miraculous discovery….6.5 million Americans are now aged 112 and older, so says an audit of the Social Security Administration. The audit, dated March 4, 2015, concluded that SSA lacks the controls necessary to annote death information on the records of number-holders who exceed “maximum reasonable life expectancies. This massive fraud includes people drawing illegal benefits to illegal aliens opening bank accounts.
Let me repeat the above line, “SSA lacks the controls necessary” to fix this. Controls, what controls? We’re talking about a big expensive government computer that apparently can’t sort out numbers from a certain age group? I bet I can do this on my $300 PC with a $39 accounting program.
This needs to be fixed…immediately! It’s an outrage and insult to all taxpayers. If there was ever a subject that liberal minded people and people in their right minds could agree on, it would be that we need to put pressure on Congress to fix this without delay or the bloody revolution starts.
Of course it should be fixed and I’m sure Congress would agree with us, so the question is why haven’t they? Why should we be forced to throw a fit and raise holy H$!! just to get their attention on this? This is so pathetically wrong and so easily fixed, where’s their @#$%*! initiative?!!!!
If they can’t deal with something this easy to fix, what can we expect from them on bigger issues?
Dare we even imagine how much money in Soc Sec is going to fraud?
Did anyone ever get prosecuted for the massive fraud in the Katrina scam? The last I heard fraud exceeded $700,000,000. Just curious if anyone knows. -Jack
I wonder how they voted?
Perhaps the Republican congress should get busy with this. It would be nice if they did something constructive.
TOKYO (AP) — The world’s oldest person says 117 years doesn’t seem like such a long time.
Japan has the most centenarians in the world, with more than 58,000, according to the government. About 87 percent of them are women.
Okawa, born in Osaka on March 5, 1898, was recognized as the world’s oldest person by Guinness World Records in 2013.
Asked for the secret of her longevity, she responded nonchalantly, “I wonder about that too.”
And she did it without the fraudulent abuse of Americans system of Social security claims.
Harold, I’ve heard the number 130 being cited as the “potential” age for the average human, that is, if it were not for errors in our DNA, diseases, pollution and other things like that.
It hasn’t been fixed because they don’t want it fixed. The democrats need their votes to keep them in office.
I’d love to have a major overhaul of our IRS resulting in a huge downsizing and transfer some IRS employees to SS to clean up this mess. But, for that to happen we need a fiscal conservative in the oval office instead of a big gov’t, big spending progressive.
Peggy, we had that once and we still didn’t fix it. If Clowngress can’t figure out how to remove millions of dead people from social security reforming the IRS is way beyond their skills.
