A government agency incompetent? shocking!

It never ceases to amaze me the incompetence of government agencies! I finally managed to file my taxes only to have them kicked back and denied because they claimed Jason's birthdate was wrong. Lets see, Jason has assured me that he was born january 28, 1982, the german birth certificate filed 2/4/82 states the same birthdate, the german birth certificate filed in september the same year states the same date, and the german consulate report for birth abroad (his american version of a birth certificate) from august the same year also says 1/28/82. Now will so many "birth certificates" to choose from, wouldnt they have the date correct? So i call up the social security office this morning to see what on earth they are smoking. A few years ago they had claimed he was born in 1927, you would think they'd figure it out by now. The guy on the phone will NOT talk to me because i am not jason, doesnt matter that THEY screwed up the birthdate, that i have a power of attorney, or that jason is currently mobilized. They also wont let me go into the office with all the necessary documents to fix it, cause yet again, im not jason and they dont recognize poa. Jason during his short break between classes finally managed to get ahold of them and they informed him that his birthdate was 2/28/82, news to us! So for those of you who were wondering, apparently his mom did NOT give birth to him in january, cause the american government says so. And we wonder why social security has so many problems...
