When you want Social Security, you fill out one piece of paper. Send it in and on your eligible day, you start getting a check and it does not stop until you die (or maybe 100 years old...I heard that somewhere). Anyway, I would rather see the elderly get a nice big increase in pay instead of all these bureaucratic buildings that are no longer needed. I guarantee a person on Social Security would rather see the buildings go if they could add 500 a month to their checks which could happen if we didn't fight every single thing that comes along to save money. Social Security is to HELP folks along in their senior years not to support a conglomerate of buildings in every state especially when you have more than one per city.
