I don’t wanna say my little ol’ blog post helped, but it looks like that Bloomberg piece on how the IRS whistle-blower program needs to be more aggressive got some well-deserved attention–from the IRS!

Off topic somewhat. Blodgett has a series of graphs over at Business Insider. It looked pretty good till he got to transfers. He lumped SS, Medicare, and Medicaid together to show how transfer programs where out of control. I looked up the trustees report on SS and they are running in the black right now with assets of 2.6 trillion. The health care programs are a different story. But I see how they are attacking SS now. It’s so disingenous.
The old lumpage maneuver–a very common technique for those who to attack Soc Sec. Glad you’re onto it.
