Solution for Soc Sec Shortage!!

 These two suggestions won't cure the entire shortage in Social Security funds, but it's a start--if the USG does what it ought to do.

 

The Justice Department today announced the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown, which resulted in charges against 455 defendants, including 90 doctors and other licensed medical professionals, for their alleged participation in health care fraud and opioid abuse schemes involving over $6.5 billion in false claims and significant patient harm, including death.

Today's Takedown represents a new era in federal, state, and international cooperation to combat health care fraud: cases in 56 federal districts and 45 U.S. states and territories, with 50 state Medicaid Fraud Control Units participating, the most in Department history.

In addition, unprecedented international cooperation over the two-week Takedown resulted in the apprehension and return to the United States of the following health care fraudsters: one defendant in Kyrenia in connection with an over $3.7 billion scheme; two defendants in Estonia in connection with a previously charged $10.6 billion scheme; and, in the Philippines, one of FBI's Most Wanted Fraudsters in connection with a previously-charged $1.2 billion telemedicine fraud scheme....

Here's the plan:

A)  1)  Sell everything the defendants own.  2)  Clean out their bank accounts.  3)  Claw back every dime they put into 'trust' accounts for their children.

Deposit all the proceeds into the Social Security Trust Fund. 

B)  Then take every property and all the cash owned or controlled by Ukraine officials (past and present.)

Deposit all the proceeds into the Social Security Trust Fund.

See how this works?

Merely take back all the money that the USG should never have pissed away in the first.  damn.  place.  and give it back to the US taxpayers.
