I appreciate your honest accounting of what is happening, and why we should be alarmed. My mother, who died in 2016, worked for SSA for 40 years and she must be spinning in her grave. Protecting recipients' privacy--and assuring them that the government would never weaponize their information--was a responsibility she and others at the SSA took very seriously.

A friend who has been taking her son as a dependent on her taxes, found out that so has her ex husband. Supposedly neither was originally aware of what the other is doing. Sharing info across agencies should be able to eliminate such conflicts.

perhaps. but it's easier to fix those conflicts when they come up than to try to fix the things that would come up if we couldn't expect the government to protect our informaton.

well, i hoped that was a joke, but given the context it probably wasn't.

in the first place, SS is more efficient than any private insurance.

government is not supposed to be run like a business.

inefficiency is a law of nature and everything people do is "inefficient."

if these are things you have never thought about, you have been inefficient.
