#1 Government is "the things we do together."

Stupidly.

Without adequate internal controls.

Without adequate punishment for those of us who do it poorly.

#2 First the Dems establish that the dead live because they receive benefits; next the dead will show up at the polls and vote Dem.

#3 Reminds me of the line that Japan had the largest population of of people near or over 100. Till they did a checkup and found that the 'pensioners' had died and the families conveniently forgot to report the deaths to the government which would have stop the monthly checks. Watch those direct deposit schemes that 'save' the government money on printing those old dirty checks.

BTW, if you retire and draw social security and you move to a foreign country, who reports the death? Who verifies they're still alive?

I dunno how this works, but my dad, who was on social security, died in Europe after living there about 6 years, and within a week or so of his demise the State Department sent me a letter & their own form of death certificate to verify what happened.
