United States Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a new interview this week, "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."

This comes a couple of days after Lutnick advises Americans to buy Tesla stock.

Maybe his isn't a lie. Maybe his is just blatant stupidity. There are very few people I know who would not complain if they didn't receive their Social Security check. I am one of them.
