SOCIAL SECURITY "CROOKS"

The biggest crook is the U.S. government and many of the politicians running for elected office. They are so weak they will not tackle the looting of Social Security for fear of not getting elected! The Social Security system will essentially be bankrupt by the year 2020.

Both the Democratic and Republican Parties know that whoever tackles the problem first that Party will likely be made out to be the "bad guy" with voters. The issue will then be used to strike fear in the hearts of voters and it will effectively be used to "billyclub" the other political Party's candidates and elected officials to get votes to try and win the next election.

The American voting public is the real problem not the politicians! The typical voter is weak minded, virtually spineless, and too often is looking for a hand out from the government.

Another problem is the government has already spent what it has collected in Social Security premiums from hard working taxpayers. Consequently, the Social Security coffers are empty and are literally filled with I.O.U.'s from the U.S. Congress. Is it any wonder why younger taxpayers today feel there may be no Social Security for them when they retire?

A similar thievery goes on with fraudulent disability claims made by derelict U.S. citizens. Too often disability claims may be easy to get from the government, and like everything else afflicting the U.S. government, once you get accepted by the government to collect disability payments, generally, you may be able to continue to fraudulently collect disability checks seemingly forever with little, if any, scrutiny!

Deceitful practices by the public are widespread and may go unchecked by government agencies because no one really seems to care to correct too many of the glaring deficiencies in the government's system of disability payments. Any of the government's so-called checks and balances in place to protect taxpayer dollars may not be working.

Another "scam" is when you get a call from someone on the phone who identifies himself as a representative of the U.S. Department Of Social Security. If he requests you give him some of your vital information, like your driver's license number and so forth, remember, only "con-artists" ask for this kind of information so do not volunteer any information over the phone.

If you give these con-artists enough information they can go out and open up a line of credit in YOUR name, charge merchandise to the account and keep the goods while YOU get all the bills and enventually all the bill collectors calling you resulting in credit problems that may take you many years to clean up!
