I am certain there are many people cheating us, by continuing to receive their mother's or father's SS check and cashing them, even after death.
Even in a private system, mistakes like such would happen...human error and thieves, just can't ever be eradicated completely k-man.
I agree mistakes are going to happen... whether it's private companies or the government... the issue is with people who think the government can do it better... without private companies competing what is the government's incentive to make things better?
Could you imagaine if Social Security had a competitor????? Either it would get better or go out of business... it's that simple... without competition there is no reason for the people running the program to improve it....
