I heard some numbers but won't repeat them as I can't prove it. Add in as usual the government cheaped out on their equipment and went channel extender route. I have heard some horror stories but again can't prove it. I do not want to get into a political hassle here, but i can personally attest that Bush & Company cut back on funding at SSA so bad that it was taking 6 years to get a hearing for a SS appeal.
