Sometimes people die and SSA is not notified in a timely manner.
Almost everyone receives direct deposit instead of checks and the deposits keep coming.
When SSA finally gets a death notice, they take the money back
From where? They take the money back from -- Where? From Whom?
The account has been drained.
Then it turns into a case of "Who Shot John?" And the money is lost forever. Maybe the goobermint can trace it but -- So what? Even if they do spend tens of thousands tracking down and charging the people that ran off with granny's money...... So what? What are they gonna do about it? Take them to Court?
If they do, they have to give the criminal a Free Lawyer and then go in front of a Judge that will probably just tell him/her/it to pay the money back to the goobermint and let them walk. And since we don't have a Debtor's Prison in this Country, nothing happens. No money, no jail time, no deterrence, no -- Nothing.
So the goobermint just doesn't bother trying. What's the point?
It isn't just dimocrap scum politicians that are professional thieves, the whole stinking cabal is made up of thieves. Some are Major Thieves while most are petty thieves. The voters.
You are either a typical lying dimocrap scumbag or live in a Pink and Blue World where reality never enters.
dimocrap scum live in the Land of Theory.
Which is why normal humans should never, ever, Not EVER, under any circumstances whatsoever vote for one.
Ever. The best of them is naive beyond belief while the majority are just simply scum.
Like in this case.
