Social Security Administration Explains Plan to Buy 174,000 Hollow-Point Bullets
(CNSNews.com – By Penny Starr) – Aug 16, 2012
The Social Security Administration posted a blog on Thursday to explain why it was planning to purchase 174,000 hollow point bullets. SSA posted a “Request for Quote for Ammunition” on the FedBizOps.gov website on Aug. 7.The request listed the commodity that SSA desired as “.357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow point pistol ammunition.” The quantity listed was “174 TH.”
The SSA’s Office of the Inspector General’s said it posted a new blog on the agency’s website, “Beyond the Numbers,” “as we strive to be a transparent and accountable government organization for all of our stakeholders.
“With those goals in mind, we thought it would be appropriate to address recent media reports regarding the organization’s purchase of ammunition for our special agents’ duty weapons,” the blog post states. The blog states that the SSA has 295 special agents who work in 66 offices across the United States.
The administration which pulled over seven hundred billion dollars out of Medicare, seeks to arm agents for which is has no need.
I propose that the Social Security Administration spend more money on benefits and zero on hollow point ammo. What say you?
