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.

: "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.
