It's the Left's lame excuse as to why they resist fixing Social Security.
And you are correct, it has nothing to do with dead people on Social Security.

There are plenty of people out there who know COBOL and it's not hard to learn.
 But Sub-Geek here isn't as "uber" as he thinks if he doesn't know that.

But the FBI's purview is FEDERAL crimes.  So local law enforcement handles
crimes in their state/county/city.  If the criminal does something (like drive
too much beer across state lines with a Trans-Am blocker), and it becomes a
Federal crime, then the FBI gets involved and usually works with the local law
enforcement to handle things.

But that's beyond the question of why they should have their headquarters in
DC.  You would think, though, you would want your largest amount of resources
where there is the most crime.
