"$9 million <snork>. Surely you can see this is a pretty lame excuse given the way the money gets spent by the Feds." - BHM

LOL In defending your hero's lies you are trying to have it both ways. You are spinning yourself into a pretzel.

Why should they spend the $9 million when there is absolutely no reason to do so? Wouldn't that be a WASTE?

Face it, it wasn't a problem that ancient people were not listed as deceased in the database because they were not receiving any money and everyone knew about it. No problems were caused by it. None.

Then you hero Musk came along and needed a story to con his dumbass followers (like you) and get them all outraged so he spins it about non-existent 150-year-olds getting social security knowing you would lap it up because you don't care how foolish you look getting conned over and over again by the same people.

It wasn't a problem, there was no reason to spend any money fixing it. The only reason it is even in the news is becauswe there were ignorant people to be taken advantage of.
