6.5 million Americans are over 112 years old...

6.5 million Americans are over 112 years old...  Not really, of course.  But that's what the Social Security Administration's records say.  You can probably guess what a wide door that opens for fraud – and, of course, that door is being used by tens of thousands of crooks.  At least tens of thousands, and quite possibly, many more.

Who's the idiot that thought it was a good idea for the federal government to manage healthcare?  Every time we turn over a bureaucratic rock, we find more festering incompetence, fraud, and waste.  I'd have thought the Post Office was all the example anyone needed.  The $900 toilet seats purchased by the Pentagon might have been another clue.  The “stay in line until you die” lists at the Veteran's Administration might have clued someone in, too.  Apparently all of this together is still insufficient to convince the progressives that it's a bad idea to have government managing anything...
