Hey all you slick computing whiz kids and nerds out there, y'all are going to retire in hopes of collecting Social Security, right? Well, thanks to tight funding for government some folks wanna squeeze down in the name of small government, you might rightly suspect that the computer systems they still use to process your millennial era checks still use magnetic tape and punch cards to keep records. PLUS the paper records.
For a detailed walk-through of the technology that's likely still processing government paperwork today, look up this one expository presented to you by the 1969 Dragnet episode titled "Frauds - DR28". And I want that to stick in your brains every single time you get tempted to de-fund the gummint. "Small government" my ass.

When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind,
And... you were on my mind.
I've got troubles, woe, oh woe,
I got worries, woe, oh woe,
I got wounds to bind.
