Then acting like Trump is dumb or crazy or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>Hmmm. Really? So if one of these folks is using a stolen SSN to work, you think that somehow they\u2019re not going to use that SSN to do other things? Apply for credit cards perhaps? Mortgage loans? Bank Accounts?<\/p>\n<p>Really? Nobody is that naive.<\/p>\n<p>The other half had his identity stolen on a couple of occasions. Once, it was just a couple of debit card numbers, but the other time it was his whole credit history. He wasn\u2019t aware there was a problem until he tried to get a loan for an instrument, then he found out that there was someone else running around using his social security number.<\/p>\n<p>How ever did this bad person get the other half\u2019s SSN? Oh that was due either to a medical insurance company breach, or a doctor\u2019s office closing. We later found out that all the medical records had simply been dumped in the dumpster out behind the office.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t matter. It cost us a lot of time and money to get everything sorted out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If someone has your SSN, name, and date of birth, they could possibly start collecting on Social Security too.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s called stealing you know. Not that any of the liberals care about little things like stealing, or crime in general.<\/p>\n<p>Unless it disturbs them.<\/p>\n<p>When drugs come to the rentals in their neighborhoods, or an HOA socialite is mugged for her earrings in a common area.<\/p>\n<p>Then liberals who previously wanted to defund the fascist police, while being kind to the poor immigrants seeking a better life, will hire a mercenary goon squad to patrol and harass everyone walking through a neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>We know that a lot of those liberals manage to look the other way, &amp; pay under the table dirt cheap wages to illegals too. Liberals don\u2019t seem to understand that paying someone 10 cents an hour is essentially slavery. Say that out loud to a liberal and they\u2019ll lose their shit.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve long been annoyed that everything is tied to a SSN. Credit applications, Tax filing, Mortgages, Car Loans, Medical records, Insurance, and God knows what else.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t supposed to be that way.<\/p>\n<p>Back at the dawn of time when I got my SS card, the accompanying paperwork said specifically that this number wasn\u2019t to be used as ID.<\/p>\n<p>Yet that\u2019s exactly what it\u2019s been used for. Lots of people forget that SSN is an account number, to your forced contributions to a retirement savings account, that doesn\u2019t pay a particularly good interest rate.<\/p>\n<p>At this point we might as well use the number as our phone number, drivers license, and car plate number. Everyone knows our account numbers.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d bet we\u2019ve all received at least 10 notices of security breaches where our name, address, SSN, and phone number has been dumped out on the internet for sale.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been informed that my personal data was leaked <em><strong>by<\/strong><\/em> the Office of Personnel Management of the United States government. You know what they said? Too bad, so sad, perhaps you should invest in a credit counseling service.<\/p>\n<p>At least corporations provided credit monitoring services for a few years!<\/p>\n<p>Given all of this.<\/p>\n<p>Is it that far a stretch to entertain that some number of illegal immigrants might be getting social security payments they\u2019re not entitled to?<\/p>\n<p>Illegal Immigrants, as Tom Homan said, are all criminals. He\u2019s right, and I fell out of my <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"MigrantNYMiddleFinger.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/bone-in-the-throat.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/MigrantNYMiddleFinger.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"168\" border=\"0\" \/>chair when he said it directly to someone questioning him about deportations.<\/p>\n<p>Until I heard him say it, I thought I was some kind of idiot that just didn\u2019t understand the issue.<\/p>\n<p>The moment a person crosses our border without permission, or overstays their Visa, they are, by definition, a criminal because they committed a criminal act. If they\u2019re willing to start out committing a crime, what\u2019s to stop them from stealing someone\u2019s identity?<\/p>\n<p>Liberals would justify even that, as okay (as long as it wasn\u2019t their identity,) because the poor illegal is just trying to work and feed their family and they needed a SSN to work. Or retire.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s something few people ever find out.<\/p>\n<p>If you claim unemployment benefits, or assistance for medical costs, or disability payments, all of which are tired to your SSN. The state sends you a 1099 form.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>YES! Boys and Girls, you have to pay Federal taxes on that \u201cIncome\u201d If you\u2019re in a state with income tax, you get to pay them too.<\/p>\n<p>So some illegal running around with your SSN can do a whole lot of damage, before they even begin to fuck you out of your tiny assed social security check.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is to say, it\u2019s very possible that some 87 year old grannie, or someone who\u2019s contacting the Social Security office on Monday morning ready to retire, may find out they\u2019ve got nothing because someone else got there before they did.<\/p>\n<p>Trump saying that he\u2019s ordering it to be looked into is a good thing. Even if they find nothing, at least the American People can have faith in the Social Security Administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If an audit does find fraud, then booting the fraudsters out of the system means people who deserve the funds will likely get them, and perhaps Social Security will last a bit longer.<\/p>\n<p>I question the Democrats screaming about Doge looking into Social Security.<\/p>\n<p>We know over the years, both the Democrats and Republicans have raided SS funds. We the People assume that the money has been paid back. What if it hasn\u2019t? Worse yet, would be finding that money is still being siphoned off for stupid projects like those at USAID.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll tell you what. If all the retirees eating tuna, cutting their medications in half, and paying taxes on their SS income were to find out they\u2019d been spending a billion a year for something like &#8220;Condoms for Convents\u201d, or half a billion on \u201cFeed a Jihadi for Jesus&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"image-10.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/bone-in-the-throat.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The old folks (myself included) would tear down the Capitol and smash every stone to dust with their walkers &amp; canes.<\/p>\n<p>I envision exchanges like this between the Capitol police and the old folks;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah sonny, that\u2019s a pretty badge, so what?
