Only a "fraudster" would care if they miss a Social Security check, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a new interview this week. Lutnick discussed how he believes Americans would respond to going a month without a Social Security check during an interview on the podcast All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg. During the appearance, Lutnick said the average American, using his mother-in-law as an example, would not complain about not receiving their checks for a month but that someone who was hacking the system would do so. "Let's say Social Security didn't send out their checks this months. My mother-in-law is 94, she wouldn't call up and complain. She just wouldn't. She would think something got messed up and she'd get it next month," he said. "A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling and complaining."
Mr. Lutnik's personal wealth is estimated at between $2-4 billion (https://www.thestreet.com/personalities/howard-lutnick-net-worth).
Boy, Howie Lutnik really likes to yammer; as a dinner partner he'd drive a normal to suicide. The "Real America" blather is at, roughly, 0:42:47-podscripts.co
