Before anything significant is done to “fix” the problem, how about we start with:
Getting all the illegals off it.
Getting all the illegals and their illegal, bastard children out of the country.
Getting all the visa overstayers out of the country and recouping any money they may be getting.
Investigating all the SSI claims. I know for a fact of at least one person, personally, that hired an attorney and lied in court to get benefits, while living with a family member. And she gets quite a bit of money every month for it.
Looking into whether or not, through family reunification, people that aren’t supposed to get benefits are, in fact, getting them.
Investigate and cancel any dead people that are still collecting, from getting checks.
As all of that is happening, put everything in a separate fund and do not allow Congress to dip it into it.
Then we can start talking about changes.
What we need to do is to re-introduce AMERICAN production, back to America.
We are buying everything from the People’s Republic of China.
That needs to be reversed, and our production returned to America.
