“Anybody who’s been in the payment system and the processes, who knows the easiest way to find the fraudster is to stop payments and listen, because whoever screams is the one stealing,” he said.
Holy fucking crap! He’s going to intentionally cut legitimate payments to millions of retirees and disabled people, and his criteria for finding fraud are the people that cry out first?! What kind of bullshit is that?!
“Because my mother-in-law’s not calling, come on, your mother, 80-year-olds, 90-year-olds, they trust the government.”
Howard, your mom isn’t calling in because she died in 1978. Source: Obituary in the New York times from Feb. 21, 1978
Your mother-in-law, Geri, likely inherited a healthy sum from her husband’s company (which he got from his father) which allowed her husband to have two country club memberships for golf and a comfortable lifestyle of booze and travel, before he died in 2022:
“Joel was an avid golfer and an active member of Wycliffe Golf & Country Club and Edgewood Country Club. He loved to make others laugh with his dry wit, and enjoyed dining out, travel, wine, and dirty martinis, and he did it all with his beautiful bride “Gedgy” by his side.” Source: father in law obituary
Howard, your mother-in-law likely doesn’t depend on social a meager Social Security payment for her housing, food, and needed healthcare. Millions of other American senior citizens aren’t nearly as lucky you ghoul.
The definition of absurdity
The amount of “WHAT THE FUCK?” in this article is astounding even for the GOP. I can’t even begin to quantify the amount of holier-than-thou, victim blaming, out-of-touch, clueless, cruel bullshit involved. He is seriously saying that the elderly and disabled are basically second-class citizens. I can’t even begin to describe the level of cruelty in this article.
The disrespect is palpable. From the same admin that demands thank yous for support they don’t give comes, “Jump through the fucking hoop or die, Howard.”
All I’m saying is once they’re out of office, whether from having their skulls caved in, a noose around their necks, a democratic election, or dying comfortably of old age surrounded by their families rubbing their hands greedily thinking about the ill-gotten gains, the sane-washers need to suffer the same fate.
If my boss failed to give me a paycheck, there would be two followups. The polite followup where I presume there was a mistake, and the not polite followup where I presume there was not. Guy doesn’t want 70 million not polite followups. He is not ready for that kind of bipartisan smoke.
I personally know one lady in her 70s that absolutely will be destroyed if she doesn’t get her check. She lives “paycheck to paycheck” and the only check she gets is Social Security. This makes me sick.
Like a witch trial? If she drowns, she was innocent, if she floats, she is a witch and must be burned.
