*Sigh*

So we lost (not really never had)a senate seat. The Republicans control it. So we lost a seat in the House. The Republicans still control it.

I am under the impression that SS has been raided by every administration since it was established in the 1930's. And all the talk about the SS surplus is pure horse pucky. There never HAS been a SS surplus.

Anyone who doesn't think they would have been better off having their social security funds invested in a good Mutual Fund during any ten year period (including the next ten)rather than investing it in SS, simply does not accept history.
