[Mr. K]

how much does the social security administration itself eat up?

For example, Welfare is KNOWN FACT to be only 30% efficitent- 70% is lost in the bureacracy and only 30% makes it to actual people

How much does SS pay out each year to people, and how much does all the payroll and overhead cost?

If we look at your numbers (which I don't doubt), it's clear that any sudden reduction in funding would put a gazillion people on ... unemployment first, then welfare.

I mean, what can a social worker do in the real world?

type?

shuffle papers?

nod acquiescence?

There will be a revolution in the near future and it will be between government workers and non government workers.
