They say no good deed goes unpunished, and this could be the case for a couple of Social Security whistleblowers.

As reported by the Washington Post, a pair of individuals who exposed unprecedented fines on the poor and disabled say they’ve faced backlash for speaking up.

We recently reported about a program that levied massive fines and harsh punishments on people who made mistakes regarding Social Security. The program was painted as an anti-fraud effort meant to stop Social Security from being exploited. However, it seemed to target those who made honest mistakes — particularly poor and disabled people.

The fact that those who spoke out against the program were seemingly punished and blacklisted is concerning. Was it an honest mistake? Or does this corruption run deep?
