The Commerce Secretary said only fraudsters would miss their Social Security check

WTF. WTF. 63,000,000 people get Social Security. Do they plan to stop payments to everyone to catch a handful of fraudsters? WTF. Even Putin doesn't mess with benefits.

Of course, this criminal cabinet knows when the law is enforced, his criminal cabinet will be the one’s under the trump bus naked without a penny left in the bank.

Investigated and hassled.

He is threatening people so they will be silent.

The Trump crime syndicate is really good at manipulating people into silence
and compliance.

“ What they're saying:

: "Let's say Social Security didn't send out their checks this month. My mother-in-law, who's 94, she wouldn't call and complain," Lutnick — a billionaire former Wall Street CEO — told the billionaire "All In" podcast host Chamath Palihapitiya.

"She just wouldn't. She'd think something got messed up, and she'll get it next month. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling and complaining,"

By the numbers: By the Social Security Administration's own estimates, of all beneficiaries over age 65, some 12% of men and 15% of women get at least 90% of their monthly income from Social Security.”
