   I'm not sure if there is anyone who can read cobol... And WTF does that have   
   to do with dead people on Social Security.   
      
   If there is a problem fix it. If there is a potential vulnerability fix it.   
      
   The system was antiquated.  It was reported that ~40% of the calls going into   
   Social Security were people trying to scam the system.   
      
   Every time you turn around you hear about scams against the Government.... If   
   its not COVID Relief whatever and any other time the Government is handing out   
   money.   
      
   Get rid of dead people off the roles... and if there are people over 100 or   
   even 200 years old on the system do a check to see how they are managing and   
   see if there is anything else we can  do  for them.

   No I didn't mean that at all.  I meant get it out of Washington and move it to   
   Colorado and other places... Moreover, I think the FBI needs to be not   
   centralized.     
      
   I think that some of the stuff we're going through right now is because of the   
   FBI being in DC. Each State has their local office and that local office   
   investigates crimes in their jurisdiction.   
      
   I did not in anyway say that it had to be in the Republican hands.   
      
   Our Government should be there to protect their citizens... Reduce crime...   
   make the place as  livable as possible.   
      
   I didn't commit emotional suicide when Clinton was in... Or Barry for that   
   matter.  I just think Presidents should do what's best for the Citizens of the   
   country.   
      
   Leaving the border open and letting anyone who dared walk in walk in.  was   
   wrong.
