Tweaking Social Security to Combat Fraud
Tim Mullen, 2008-02-13

Americans lost over 45 billion dollars in identity-related fraud in 2007. Reports are so commonplace that we've actually become de-sensitized to them. "200,000 victims reported..." "500,000 victims reported..." Even figures into the millions don't seem to faze us anymore. And that is a Bad Thing.

After visiting many government sites in regards of fraud against the program or law, it is very difficult to make a report. There seems to be no facility to report them. After all they are all talking about combating them. Almost none of them have any email address to report only hotline (phone number), and when I called in it is sooo difficult to make a report and none of them seems to be serious in handling it once talked to. So???
