Take a look at the opening statement given by the Ranking Republican member of the Social Security Subcommittee, Sam Johnson, at the hearing this week. I will paraphrase: I give lip service to customer service at Social Security, but what is really important to me is making sure that any extra operating funds given to the Social Security Administration be spent on contractors and on combatting fraud, which I am sure is rampant at Social Security.
Yessiree, the Congressman is certain there is fraud although he has no proof of anything specific. And, by golly, SSA needs more hardware alright, like the new phone systems with poor quality sound transmission on the net. Right.
