Old Debts

Ya gotta love it....

After the news broke of a couple of people being held responsible for debt incurred when these people were LITTLE, the Social Security Administration has decided to "suspend" the program.  Isn't that special?  

Here's a quote from the article,' "While this policy of seizing tax refunds to repay decades-old Social Security overpayments might be allowed under the law, it is entirely unjust," Democratic Sens. Senators Barbara Boxer of California and Barbara Mikulski of Maryland said in a letter to Colvin." '  

I don't care for Barbara Boxer's politics, but at least she didn't vote for the bill that allows this....Mikulski, however, did.  She didn't read the bill.  Stunned, aren't you??

Here's another fun quote, '"We want to assure the public that we do not seek restitution through tax refund offset in cases when the debt in question was established prior to the debtor turning 18 years of age," Social Security spokesman Mark Hinkle said in an email...'  I think that can be firmly established to be a load of horse manure.

Why don't AP and FOX News call these people on their voting for such garbage and lying about what's happening??
