CTP (S2E98) Saving Social Security: The Fraud Behind the Crisis
Social Security isn't going insolvent due to legitimate U.S. citizens' claims, but rather because of widespread fraud in the system that must be addressed immediately to preserve benefits without raising taxes or cutting legitimate entitlements.
• Social Security is a true entitlement because citizens pay into it through FICA taxes during working years
• The system was designed as a pay-as-you-go model where current workers fund current retirees
• Millions of Social Security checks go to people supposedly over 100, 200, or even 300 years old
• Simple verification processes could identify fraudulent accounts without burdening legitimate recipients
• Sending notices requesting ID and birth certificate verification to recipients over 100 would expose fraud
• Investigating suspicious patterns like multiple payments to one address or bank account is essential
• Medicaid (from general funds) is not an entitlement, unlike Medicare which is funded through FICA
• We have an obligation to help those unable to work, not those unwilling to work
• The nation cannot help anyone if it becomes completely bankrupt from unchecked spending
• No legitimate benefits need to be cut and no taxes need to be raised if fraud is eliminated

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP in association with TheLibertyBeacon.com and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D CTP is your no muss no fuss just me you And occasional guest type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get on with the show

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1]

Hello everybody, welcome to season two, episode 98. I want to talk to you about social security
and doge and why doge indeed need to be involved in social security.
Let me stay right up front, I got a lot going on in my head. Hopefully I'll remember to get to all the things.
But on substac, tinyurl.com slash JLD on substac, tinyurl.com JLD on substac, and behind the scenes video you can see me holding up part of a page of an article I wrote there on substac called
examining the social security entitlement system and fraud therein doze wants address.
Social security is not going insolvent and bankrupt due to US citizens legitimate claims. The problem is the fraud.
We as US citizens are entitled to social security. Non-citizens are not. Most US citizens are entitled because they pay in to the system in their working years.
The fight attacks part to social security part to Medicare. Those are entitlements. When you retire you are then entitled to get from the system you paid into.
Yeah, now the whole other issue that money you paid in are long gone before it's time for you to collect any money.
Money you're paying in now are going for others who are on the system now. They are getting money from you. The leftover is going into treasuries that then our Congress doesn't put in a lockbox.
Now they spend that money then so there's no reserves. There's nothing but IOU's in the system. That's all you have is an IOU that when you are entitled to getting back you'll be getting from somebody else's money who's paying in.
So if somebody refers to it as a Ponzi scheme, yes it is from the design. The very first days of Social Security no one had paid anything in yet.
So those who qualify to get Social Security checks were getting money from people paying in at that time and that system has remained the same throughout. Other US citizens like, well pardon me, excuse me, I'm sorry I had to cough there.
Like my mother rest in peace my mother thankfully was able because my dad worked at General Motors in the transportation department made a good enough middle class salary that me and my sister's our mother was able to be a stay at home mother a full time mother.
To help raise the children. Do we not want that as a possibility? So when it came time for my mother to collect Social Security she had not paid anything in but she was still entitled under the law as a US citizen under my dad's paid in benefits.
So the US citizen worked or not is entitled to Social Security same with orphans right. A 13 year old whose parents die in a car accident let's just say for sake of this example has been orphaned.
They have not worked yet but they are a citizen and they are entitled to the Social Security till they become 18 and then become an adult and expected to then work and then they'll pay into the system. But do you want that want the orphan to be taken care of? Yes.
In our Judeo Christian foundations nation we believe in helping those who that cannot help themselves. The Bible is clear there is a distinction between those who are unable versus those who are unwilling.
Well, well, well, back up. Put the truck in reverse right beep beep beep.
Social Security entitlement for US citizens hating or not based on certain criteria in law. It's not not an entitlement for non citizens and
Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security get paid into as a special program. Medicaid is not an entitlement. No one pays into where they come from general funds. It is a privilege. We extend to people that can be taken away at any point.
It's an entitlement same with all those welfare checks. There is no welfare entitlement. That is a general fund distribution item that we extend to people as we can because we try to be a charitable nation.
But that welfare then does not automatically extend to non citizens unless we from the goodness of our heart extended to them as a privilege. But with that money strings can and should be attached.
And again, you can be removed from welfare because you are not entitled to it citizen or not in the first place. So is Social Security a pansy scheme as some say yes from the very start. It was the design of the system.
People that retired and qualified for Social Security when the program first started didn't put any money in yet. There was no money put in. So the people paying into the system and there were far more workers to retiree ratio.
It was not an issue when it started from those paying in those who were on the system giving pay out were right.
Any money you put in are going to somebody else now. The money you put in will be long gone by the time it comes for your entitled distributions from the Social Security system.
Your money's will come from somebody else who was paying in. Now the point of this whole show is not no no one's eliminating Social Security.
No one has to eliminate Social Security. We don't have to cut any legitimate citizens benefits at all. Not one penny but the fraud in the system indeed is bankrupting it.
Now we have to address the fraud or we could do what the left wants to do with everything always right. Look raise the fight attacks from what seven whatever it is to 8%.
And it'll be solvent for another 20 30 years but then they'll have to raise it again eventually to 9 or 10%. No that isn't necessary nor is cutting any benefits to legitimate citizens collecting it.
But those okay I want to go and doge is exposed on Social Security in the system.
Checks are going out to millions of people over the age of 100. Okay. Could there be some citizens legitimately over the age of 100? Sure. Absolutely. Positively.
But there are 300 million or so US citizens by the census we know the general categories of the ages. So we therefore know absolutely positively all the checks going out of Social Security or direct deposits to bank.
It's important to say that as we go along here. Two people 100 200 some supposedly three older than this nation actually existed 300 years old.
So can there be somebody over 100? Sure. Over 200? No 300? No. Obviously that. Is that automatically fraud?
99% of the time I would dare say yeah but it is and that's what we need to root out. So why can't we send out notices asking people to or to get out of the system.
You know if someone's in a nursing home there whoever has their power of attorney who they may be collecting a check and an address other than the nursing home that the person isn't but notices can be sent out to any and all addresses on file at the Social Security of everyone 100 years or older.
And say you will return to us within 30 days a copy of a legitimate picture ID a driver's license while while older people don't try it right and passport could be expired a legitimate photo ID.
Also a copy of your birth certificate. Is this to give people a hard time? No. And if you're 100 years old listening to this show and collecting Social Security you should have zero problem with my asking them asking us all asking you to send in a copy of a picture ID
and your birth certificate who prove you're still who you say you are are alive and properly collecting because a lot of them over 100 are fraud illegitimate checks going out that we must stop.
So after 30 days people will have sent in and you prove who you are and that you're alive and you're collecting legitimately.
You're not bothered anymore. No big deal but you should want to catch the fraudsters who are bankrupting the system because indeed if it continues this way your benefit might be cut.
But there's no need to do that if we fix the problem now but time is running out we must fix the problem now or you everyone you know will have reduced benefits.
That's not right. That's not the left is always talking about fair. That's not fair.
Right. So after 30 days those who still have not sent in a second notice goes out to the address on file because you know the first one could have got lost in the mail right.
And could someone that's in the system listed as 200 years old be a database error. Yes that's part of the point in purpose of this legitimately show you're there and this is your birth certificate.
Oops social security says you were born in 1901 but actually you were born in 1951.
Okay we fixed the database we update your date of birth your legitimate we don't bother you anymore but guess what those supposed 150 200 300 year olds that are indeed actually fraud can't prove they are who they say they are can't prove when they were born.
They after then another 30 days after that second notice will be notified your benefits are shut down and those notices are probably going to nobody know where anyway and the other thing is if the social security sends them out they should be return address required
or forwarding notification required if it's an illegitimate address it comes back they know it's fraud or they need to investigate more.
I don't want people just kicked off really nearly let's say a bad address is in the system it comes back then if it's a where's the check going to in that case it's probably a direct deposit right well then they need to get off their butt and send a notice to the bank.
Is this a legitimate person with a legitimate account at your bank are there 50 deposits going to the same account and being laundered out some investigation is required here let's even before the notices go out
and if someone's under 100 search the database is our is the right word right are 50 chats being delivered to 123 Main Street any town USA how is that is it legit well is 123 Main Street any town USA a nursing home
okay let's further investigate then with the nursing home are these 50 people legitimately there legitimately giving the checks or is it fraud on behalf of the nursing home collecting checks of people who shouldn't be giving checks any longer see this fraud is rampant like the Medicare and Medicaid fraud
that goes on on behalf of certain organizations falsely claiming benefits of someone who wouldn't be otherwise collecting but maybe nursing home at 123 Main Street any town does legitimately have 50 residents that are collecting checks okay confirm it we don't bother them anymore but if 123 Main Street happens to be
an empty warehouse hello direct deposits is the other thing how many bank accounts easily searchable are there duplicate bank accounts in the system is there a bank account that is getting 10 checks investigate with the bank is it somehow someone
that has power of attorney over 10 legitimate retirees therefore the direct deposit our legit to that one bank account likely in most cases no possibly yes and the point share unless if you send out an investigatory note to start this process you'll never know
and why has the Social Security Administration never ever been asked to do this already before investigate eventually you're going to find a lot of these people are frauds and those benefits hand good and should be shut off
preserving the system for the legitimate US citizens that are entitled to it in a year five years ten years a hundred years from now without having to raise any taxes without having to cut any legitimate benefits
okay that's all I'm asking for here that's all Trump and the doge team is asking for here looking into the fraud if I were 101 and on Social Security I would so welcome a notice to help root out the fraud to preserve it for those legitimately collecting those who in the future
in the future then should be legitimate or corrupting we must end the fraud in the system to preserve the system okay my mouth is dry my throat is getting sore I know there are some things I wanted to add to say
them what I have already right yet Medicaid is not Medicare Medicare is an entitled one we can fix the system by eliminating the fraud and we all know the last administration assured all the people who were not legally entitled to collect
that just like on the welfare system we can maintain a welfare safety net even as a generous nation who fellow you as citizens not those who have invaded our country not those who are
are legitimately on the system we can preserve all these systems and like with welfare during the Clinton years and Medicaid we see in California now they're rushing to expand Medicaid so their budget is going to be burst even more and they're going to demand more federal dollars stolen from the other 49 states
to cover the Medicaid of people who shouldn't be in the country in California they're putting on the system we can cut welfare as we did during the Clinton years without tossing legitimate claimees off but those who are able
need to work those who are unwilling biblically we have no obligation to you you're gaming you're scamming you're conning you're stealing you're defrauding we have no obligation to you to pay you money that you aren't entitled to
and that all this is about we can be generous when we're no longer 37 on track to 40 trillion in debt two trillion dollar deficit still we must get to balanced budgets we must start to pay down the debt
we can preserve Social Security and all those other things to a degree but we can't help anyone if the nation defaults on our debt and goes completely bankrupt this cloud in Pivin idiocy notion that if they keep piling people into welfare and on Medicaid and Social Security illegally that are not entitled
to bankrupt and collapse the entire system that somehow a socialist utopia will come in and fix it all if and when the nation is bankrupt none of us there is no money for any of us whether you've paid into security or not there will be no money of any kind
for anyone on any program so we must fix the problems or no one can be helped and that's the bottom line in this I'm sorry I'm I know I'm rambling now again tiny URL.com slash JLD on
the bottom line and I'm going to go ahead and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to my channel and subscribe to

has helped if the nation is completely bankrupted.
So no one's eliminating Social Security,
no one's cutting legitimate benefits.
Those who are defrauding the system
have to be removed to preserve it
for those who are entitled legitimate US citizens
having worked or not.
Thank you all.
I'm sorry, I know I rambled a bit.
And again, I'm sure I've forgotten some things
which is why please,
I'm not writing in conjunction with the Liberty Beacon anymore,
but indeed this show is in conjunction
with that sub-stack article.
I urge you to follow up with that.
Thank you all.
Talk to your friends, your neighbors.
Let them know about, like, share, subscribe.
I hate parroting that.
But the reality is this information isn't going out anywhere.
You need to share this show with others
to help educate them as to what is really going on.
Not what the enemy media is peddling,
the fear porn, the threats,
the lives that only one will cut out
are benefits, no, no, not what's happening.
And we all must demand the fraud be cut
so that it is saved for those
who are legitimately on the system or will be.
I know I parroted that again, right?
I can't subscribe like a parent,
I've parroted a few things.
But indeed, I need your help sharing this show to others
to help them because they're not gonna get this anywhere
on the news.
They want clickbait.
They want you to tune in for their lives.
They wanna keep you fearful, not informed.
They want you tuning in out of fear.
I want you tuning in here and sharing here
because we are the news now.
We are reporting the truth here, the facts here,
the verifiable things you can find for yourself
if you did deep enough on the internet
and avoid all those places
who are purposely willfully malice of forethought
lying to you because they want their people
in power and in control.
And they don't really care about you.
People trying to fix the problems
are the ones who actually care
but they keep getting pushback.
You must demand on your behalf.
Things get fixed.
So we're not a bankrupt nation
and everybody is impoverished.
No one can be helped.
And again, I repeated that too, right?
Worth repeating.
Thank you all.
I've gone longer than I've intended.
So thank you all, take care and God bless.
I know this show serves no purpose
with I ramble for three hours.
It would be too long for anyone to tune into.
Take care, God bless.

Examining the Social-Security ENTITLEMENT System (and Fraud there-in, DOGE wants address)…

Yes, we USCITIZENS, not Foreigners, are ENTITLED to it.... It isn't going Broke it is being DEFRAUDED into Bankruptcy...

Examining the Social-Security ENTITLEMENT System.... Yes, we USCITIZENS, not Foreigners, are ENTITLED to it.... It isn't going Broke it is being DEFRAUDED into Bankruptcy...OK, I wrote something on this DECADE+ AGO for RedState (and yes even before that in 2000 on my own Website under an Alias for reasons at time had to write under)…… Time to revisit… Been saying I’ve been wanting/needing to for a long time and NOW is the convenient time as I do not need create this piece from scratch as ALL NIGHT TONIGHT (over on #TruthSocial, Sun. Mar. 23rd) we’ve been going back-and-forth so I WILL COPY/PASTE that thread here-in…

[image above source: TruthSocial screen-shot —- Note: if you are viewing this on BeforeItsNews vs SUBSTACK, as this appears both places, B4IN strip images after 1 years time as articles are sent to Archive Server and stripping images allows them save Server space: The image shows a Billboard with the wording “Why am I entitled to SOCIAL SECURITY?? Because I’ve contributed to it from every paycheck I’ve EARNED my Life!”]

My response to Tim…

EXACTLY, I have covered this OVER AND OVER AND OVER SS and MediCare are #ENTITLEMENTS we as #USCITIZENS (not Foreigners, even non-working USCitizens as Spouses and Parents pay-in, in-part, for such who may not be of working age or do not work in order to raise Families) paid into them for us and other #USCitizens ALONE!!!

This Substack is reader-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Continues with lots more LOGIC/REASON thoughts and additional images for Paid Subscribers below paywall… Substackers CAN, if non-paid-subscriber, use their ONE TIME CREDIT to view the paid subscribers EXCLUSIVE text with that/their “one time” read-on credit….

There is NO "UnEmployment Tax" of our Checks but Employers pay into a System so one can call LIMITED U/E BENEFITS an entitlement but that System IS NOT MADE TO FLOAT THE LAZY FOREVER either (it is a TEMPORARY STOP-GAP measure only).

There is NO SUCH MediCAID, or WELFARE, or whatever else ENTITLEMENT those are General Budget "Gifts" as/when "afforded" as a PRIVILEGE - again NOT ENTITLEMENTS (NOT A RIGHT) and subject to ELIMINATION let-alone some minor ADJUSTING we are trying to do now The Leftards FREAK OUT ABOUT cuz those are all VOTE BUYING PROGRAMS for them.

I had a REDSTATE article on all of this, but don't have the link handy, I need to do an more modern UPDATE on/at BeforeItsNews, TheLibertyBeacon, SUBSTACK or Blogspot, one of these days soon.SS and MEDICARE are NOT GOING BROKE, but indeed will be BANKRUPT SOON if we do not fix them for #USCitizens (booting off all the FRAUDSTERS on it that the Program WAS NOT CREATED FOR) because of #FRAUD and Leftards STEALING FROM IT for other things - like they did #obaMAOcare and more.tinyurl.com/JLDArticles (B4IN)tinyurl.com/JLDonSUBSTACK tinyurl.com/JLDonTLB (TheLibertyBeacon)an old REDSTATE piece archived is: tinyurl.com/BrainDeadFolks

Tim further responded…

There was a leftist oriented meme floating around for the longest time stating SS and medicare were NOT entitlements. I posted corrections to it dozens of times, but finally got tired of it.My response to Tim about that…

BINGO, as with everything with LEFTARDSBassakwards, and indeed all about their Lawless agendathey want people to NOT UNDERSTAND the Language as they purposefully WARP IT.tinyurl.com/JLDonTLBwith following (about “Left Warping of Language” and “You Can Lead a Liberal to the Facts, but You Can Not Make Them THINK!” images about TheLibertyBeacon and RedState related pieces (which, again, in B4IN version will VANISH after 1 year time as article is archived)…

btodd77 chimed in with…Yeah, it’s a Ponzi Scheme, older people who are drawing Social Security are being paid with money we’re paying now.as well again Tim with…The biggest problem is that life expectancy is 20 years longer now than at the inception.

My response to them both, on those fronts…

Yes, it always was from start PONZI SCHEMEthat does NOT change FACT we paid in and therefore ENTITLED back. [exclusive added content: NOR that now almost 100 years since it was started we are going to TERMINATE IT unlike Dept. Of Ed FAILING and returning that to the States under 10A as it was always intended and existed before Carter and the Dems created it as a TOP/DOWN DICTATORIAL FASCIST EDICTS UPON STATES (unfunded by any Special Tax, as FICA does for SS/MediCare) and to use as their #CommieFasciSocies control to DEMAND STATES FOLLOW the strings attached or NOT GET THE FED. GEN. BUDGET FUNDS handouts to them rather than keep fully funding via Property Taxes within States at Local level as originally designed. And we can still BLOCK GRANT to States funds without the strings once DOE is gone!]

HOWEVER, does not mean it cannot be MEANS TESTED for those getting over $100k in 401k's or Pensions supplements as it was ALWAYS INTENDED AS BOTTOM WRUNG SAFETY NET and again while "entitled" to getting something back does not mean we cannot TIER (we already do, not everyone GETS THE SAME SIZE PAYOUT, Check amounts) the System to assure it is preserved going forward to/for those MOST WILL FALL DEPENDENT UPON IT (full disclosure, I am on SS Disability RIGHT NOW, I was expecting to Work another 20-25 years when I went on it, therefore the 401k monies I had were NOWHERE NEAR READY/ABLE to sustain the rest of my Life as my buy-in time was CUT SHORT unexpectedly and therefore burned through all that QUICKLY and now solely reliant on the SS THAT I PAID INTO and the Contractual return OWED).THAT ALSO doesn't mean we cannot ALLOW younger folks working now want to INVEST THEIR SHARE (their part of FICA withdrawn, while rest of Empolyers MATCH of FICA into main system still) Privately and CONTRACTUALLY if they do better they REAP THAT EXTRA REWARD but IF THEY SQUANDER THEIR SS INVESTMENTS they only get a bare minimum (not full) return from the System they PARTIALLY OPTED OUT OF which would ALSO PRESERVE THE SYSTEM going forward.

Tim further added....

The biggest problem is that life expectancy is 20 years longer now than at the inception.

I further responded...

That is true, but again, IF the FRAUD were rooted out even THAT would not be mattering!!!! And as LAST RESORT we could up the age by a few years (over time, add 1 mo more til allowed on every 3 mo's for the next several years which will GRADUALLY raise the retirement Age to qualify for SS giving folks nearing their Retirement time to be GRANDFATHERED IN, more or less, and those who will not Retire for 20+ years PLENTY OF TIME TO ADJUST to the new Age requirement).

SIMPLE STUFF, this does NOT need be complicated....IT JUST TAKES WILLINGNESS TO STAND AGAINST THE LEFT #LIES AND FIX WHAT THE LEFT HAS BROKEN by giving it to FOLKS NOT ENTITLED TO THE USCITIZENS ENTITLEMENT!!!

NOT SAID ON TRUTH let me add: It isn't going Broke it is being DEFRAUDED into Bankruptcy... BY DESIGN by Alinsky Left trying to DESTROY USA via BANKRUPTING us with endless ever-increasing Deficits now exponentially increasing our Debt and EXACTLY WHY we have DOGE to get a handle on things and CONGRESS MUST ENACT IN BUDGETS real Cuts going forward to dwindle the current $2T Deficits (and, LET ME BE CLEAR: I am NOT a HACK - I called out Trump (as I did obaMAO, GW, Clinton, HW, and even yes Reagan, before him) for his/their FAILURE TO VETO (or case of POTUS45) even threaten Veto) of ANY/ALL SPENDING BILLS sent to his Desk in his first term and WAY TOO LARGE DEFICITS THEN TOO! #PrinciplesNotPersonalities - I AM A CONSISTENT CONSERVATIVE #CHRISTITUTIONALIST!!!

POST-POSTING of this piece [update]… Over on GAB Sdevo chimed in…

I wish they would just go back and give me every penny I paid in. I can manage by money myself. Give us back what we paid in no less!!!

My response to him…

NEVER HAPPENING, but there is at least SOME REFORMS we can Fight for that MIGHT BE WORKABLE! (we MIGHT be able to FORCE THROUGH despite the resistance we will get every step of the way, as noted by I and others have been DEMANDING a SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT for decades now and still have ZERO done to preserve it - Leftards create a crisis and refuse to act upon the crisis they create)!! Like, as I point out there-in, allowing folks to invest their portion of the FICA and IF you do better you get the rewards but IF YOU PARTIALLY OPT OUT and fuck yourself with bad investments TOO BAD ON YOU and you do NOT then get FULL ENTITLEMENT (but a smaller, "safety-net" stipend, from the Employer portion of FICA paid on your behalf)! Bottom line is SYSTEM CAN BE EASILY FIXED without ANY NEED TO RAISE #TAXES but getting those NOT LEGALLY ENTITLED to the System Left let on THE FUCK OFF THE SYSTEM!!!! I may not LIKE the limitations we may be able to get in compromise, but I DEAL IN REALITY and THE REALITY of that we are dealing with CROOKS, THIEVES, CORRUPT BASTARDS, that will only allow tweaks and certainly not anything what would be deemed "DRASTIC" (it is your money, it is NOT DRASTIC to DEMAND you get to keep it, work it, etc.) or at least of course #ENEMEdia will PAINT AS #DRASTIC! But ANY REFORM we know damn well they will SCREAM IS DRASTIC and UNWORKABLE as they'd prefer it continue as a VOTE BUYING FUND for NON-CITIZENS for The Left until COMPLETE BANKRUPTCY which is drawing more and more near.

FURTHER ATTESTING TO THE POINT ABOUT THE FRAUD…. PainterChick (Laura) chimed in on GAB… [Exclusive to SUBSTACK shared content]

Some addition SUBSTACK exclusive content: response to another chiming in on Truth that “everyone should have had to paid in to qualify” (para-phrasing)…My response…

NOT ENTIRELY TRUE, and for good reasons,

BUT as pointed out #USCITIZENS ONLY!!!!!

That it has been DEFRAUDED to cover Non-Citizens is its problem.

Now, what do I mean by NOT ENTIRELY TRUE???

Simple, Widows, Widowers, Orphaned Children, who may not have paid in ARE QUALIFIED and SHOULD BE as long as #USCITIZENS.

Spouses may NOT WORK in order to be FULL TIME PARENT and they are covered by SPOUSAL BENEFIT COVERAGE as they should be. ORPHANED CHILDREN if their Parents pass while Young QUALIFY as should.

AS SHOULD under our JudeoChristian Foundations VALUES!

We are called to be OUR BROTHERS KEEPER however the Bible does distinguish between THOSE UNABLE vs THOSE UNWILLING. In the cases above they were not UNWILLING TO WORK but we want GOOD PARENTS able to Raise Children FULL TIME when/where possible and in the case of the Kids THEY HAD NOT YET ACHIEVED WORKING AGE YET to have worked and started paying in (but in those cases THAT IS NOT FOR LIFE, they can/could/should upon reaching 18 be expected to have their SS stopped and them WORK)!

AND SPEAKING OF FRAUD, many Illegals DEFRAUDING Social-Security as well as Welfare and everything else they ARE NOT ENTITLED TO….

And as for those 18.9M people collecting SS supposedly all over age 100. Now, sure, happily SOME PEOPLE can/do Live over 100 - but even nowadays IT IS RARE and certainly NOT 18.9M peeps. THOSE ALL SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED by SS. PLUS, likelihood many of them are #FRAUD and also likely filing FRAUD TAX RETURNS to claim "CREDITS" (another false name, as many of them amount to WELFARE CHECKS well above anything, if they paid #Taxes at all to begin with, paid in) stealing yet MORE FROM #TAXPAYERS. We need an #IRS TASK FORCE, no not of NEW HIRES, but transfer 2.5k existing Auditors OFF of Auditing Law Abiding Citizens and AUDIT/INVESTIGATE all on file filing over age of 100. Determine the LEGAL FOLKS 100+ vs the MILLIONS committing #FRAUD.WE SHOULD ALL WANT THE FRAUD WEEDED OUT in order to preserve the System for those SUPPOSED TO BE ON IT! Therefore NONE OF US should have an issue if SocSec would send a notice to any/all supposedly 100+ (due process, not just drop and see if they squeal) saying YOU ARE REQUIRED to send in copy of your Driver License, Passport, or Birth Certificate, as a more or less “proof of Life” LOL but realistically speaking PROOF YOU ARE AT LEAST ABLE to react to such a simple/basic “investigation” of real/fraud in order to STAY ON SYSTEM. As the other thing is that the SocSec System CAN HAVE ERRORS IN IT and someone listed as “200 years old” just a database error and these should be CORRECTED (if that is, and would likely only be, A VERY SMALL/FRACTION OF A PERCENT of the Cases) and the rest REMOVED AS FRAUD.I have been one of Millions DEMANDING that the Fraudsters be not just kicked off the System, to save/preserve it for those supposed to have/get it, but these CRIMINALS NEED BE LOCKED UP for the Criminal DeFrauding they’ve been allowed for so long to commit.And I had another chime in on GAB even after already addressing the GIVE ME MINE to Hell with everyone else attitude to which I responded YET AGAIN - this time MORE DIRECTLY (“politeness” be damned)…As discussed/addressed there-in [referring to this piece] many would like and are screaming "just give ME back all I paid in and let me deal with it" - but we can deal in PIPE-DREAM DELUSION that will never happen (MOST do CARE about others, it is in-line with our #JudeoChristian Biblical Foundations, and SS is NOT GOING ANYWHERE even as it nears Bankruptcy) or we can deal in WORKABLE REALITY?!?!? I choose to deal in REALITY! As I said IT IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE so we can DEAL IN REALITY and try FIX IT or keep kicking Can down the Road to the INEVITABLE LEFTIST SOLUTION TO EVERYTHING to then just DOUBLE THE TAXES to keep covering the #FRAUD rather than deal with the Fraud and The Left habitually raiding the Program for NON-RELATED-PURPOSES!

And still another (GABber) chimed in…

And my response…

BUILD MORE PRISONS, but I get ya, I hear ya, trouble is UNTIL we finally bother to show we are returning to a #RuleOfLaw Nation and going to lock away #Criminals (where-as The Left, Criminals are a big part of their base, and therefore they purposefully choose be soft on Crime and don't care about Victims of Crime (and in the case of all this Fraud, ALL US PAID/PAYING IN are Victims of/to it cuz it may CUT INTO OUR BENEFITS)) we are then just encouraging MORE CRIME, MORE FRAUD, cuz why not if there are NO CONSEQUENCES!!! WE MUST START MAKING EXAMPLES OF AS MANY WE CAN as Warning to others we are FINALLY SERIOUS about dealing with Criminal DeFrauding of our Systems!!!

AGAIN, THIS IS REAL SIMPLE SHIT AND COMMON-SENSE!!!!

RELATED…. WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND LIST and while I have NOT ADDED “Fix the SS System” officially to it YET it is an item I HAVE BEEN DEMANDING for DECADES NOW (long before I was on it) - I called for REFORMS even back in 1990’s when I myself was RUNNING FOR OFFICE AS A REPUBLICAN - a REAL ONE, not a CINO or RINO!!!

AND WE MUST REMOVE THOSE WHO FAIL TO DELIVER - WE THE PEOPLE must ALL stay involved and active YEAR 'ROUND every Year not just Election Years and DEMANDING OUR REPRESENTATIVES ACT!!!
