(2,535 posts)...Gore talked about a "locked box," over 20 years ago. This was about balancing the budget on the SS Trust money with the pretense "it would be paid back..." Oh yeah, where is it, Congress, is it even being discussed? Nope, nope, nope!"
I hate to say it as I have some issue with Gore but he was more than right about this. They have taken $trillions and then try to say we will not have enough money to pay everyone. BullS**t!!! why do they think they are so special that they can just take our money for their own BS like not taxing the rich and for that matter not taking SS out of anyone who makes more than $114,000 a year?
If we want this to change perhaps it takes those of us to keep asking Congress, the press, and our own Legislators, "Where's ma money, Beyyyitch???" And why aren't the deadbeat rich paying their fair share?
Just sayin' here ...
