And where does this fraudulent money go?
The WAR MACHINE money is "lost" overseas and profits are socked away in offshore accounts.
The SS fraud money, what little there is, goes to local businesses that provide jobs.
Stop playing your RW game with "we can't deny blah-blah." No one likes any movie for just the opening credits. You've got to see the whole picture. It's the same with this. The whole picture is that SS fraud is almost as insignificant as voter fraud. Any SS fraud circulates money. WAR MACHINE fraud just hoards it or "loses" it.
Yes, I know some of that WAR MACHINE money is a jobs program, but it's a sucky one. We can do something more constructive with the money than building killing machines we don't want or need.
