The IRS hasn’t received the payment information it requested to send checks to Social Security recipients.
Millions of disabled and retired Americans are still waiting for their $1,400 stimulus payments because of a holdup at the Social Security Administration, House Democrats said Wednesday. Social Security hasn’t handed over payment information that the Internal Revenue Service needs to send the coronavirus relief checks to nearly 30 million people receiving retirement or disability benefits, Democrats said. “We understand that these beneficiaries are waiting because the Social Security Administration has not sent the necessary payment files to the Internal Revenue Service,” House Ways and Means Committee chair Richard Neal (D-Mass.) said in a letter to Social Security Commissioner Andrew Saul. Several Democrats, including Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.), had previously urged President Joe Biden to fire Saul, a Donald Trump appointee whose term doesn’t expire until 2025. Biden has hesitated to do so even though he’s fired other Trump holdovers in other agencies before their terms have ended.

Democrats always seem to be the heroes in the copy of so-called “mainstream” media outlets. Republicans often emerge as the villains, squashing everything noble and good. The Left is typically described as the reformers somehow lacking an ideology. Take a March 15 story leading the National section of The New York Times. The headline was “For Voting Rights Advocates, a ‘Once in a Generation Moment’ Looms: Opposition to restrictive Republican voting laws — and support for a sweeping Democratic bill — fuels a movement like none in decades. But can it succeed?” The Left is described as “voting rights advocates” having their “moment” – because Democrats are in control of everything. Democrats have a “sweeping” proposal to fight those “restrictive” Republicans.
