“Seniors won’t complain if they miss a Social Security check”, Lutnick says

Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick suggested this week that only “fraudsters” would complain about missing a monthly Social Security check, and that most people wouldn’t mind if the government simply skipped a payment.

[…]

“Anybody who’s been in the payment system, in the process system, knows the easiest way to find the fraudster is to stop payments and listen, because whoever screams is the one stealing. … 80-year-olds, 90-years-olds, they trust the government, they trust, ok, maybe it got screwed up, big deal, they’re not going to call and scream at someone — but someone who’s stealing always does.”

Translation:

What we’re going to do is take all pensioners, and throw them in a pond.
If they don’t grumble, and compliantly drown, then they were innocent.
If they complain and float, then they’re witches, and we will burn them. Once they dry out, of course. Nothing worse than trying to burn wet pensioners.
