Description

Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick suggested this week that only "fraudsters" would complain about missing a monthly Social Security check, and that most people wouldn't mind if the government simply skipped a payment. "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," Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how out of touch and insincere Lutnick sounds as he makes excuses for upcoming lapses in Social Security payments by Elon Musk and his DOGE acolytes.

There are 75 million people collecting Social Security retirement and disability payments, and it would be a very foolish party that ended that.

As a social security fraudster, I love yelling loudly, drawing attention to myself so it makes it easier for them to spot me, said no fraudster ever... You know who makes noise? Poor people who have bills to pay when the check comes in...

As long as we ordinary people hate each other and, above all, ourselves, these people who call themselves the elite will have power over us.

I am 73, and I got a notice from SS in January that they were cutting my monthly benefit by $300 with no explanation. I called SS immediately and was told i have to make an appointment to get this worked out and , the soonest I could get one was March 6. Then of course, any payment I was owed for their error would not come for at least another 2 weeks. Now that they cut staff this process of fixing errors will surely take longer.
