Subject: RE: Social Security: Politician's Honey Pot
Joe, I got hit by the reduction and it hurts. There's nothing in the trough now, Bobert, except I.O.U.'s and never has been. The whole thing is a gigantic Ponzi scheme. Every administration has used the S.S.Fund as a cash cow that they could milk for whatever they wanted. The sad truth is that Social Security was never intended to be a retirement fund. It was supposed to Supliment an individuals personal retirement fund. Unfortunately, too many people have saved zip and so they will eke out their elder days on a little SSA check and food stamps.
