<<OK. I'm with you. The Federal Gov't borrowed the money from the SS Trust Fund and used all that money on a massively bloated gov't budget. So it is now gone.

It isn't upsetting at all, it is pure bullshit. I don't get up set when I hear bullshit, I just point it out.

Look at your sentence above: "massively bloated government."

How about we examine that statement. Bush comes in and the deficit is 5 billion. He raises the debt another 5 billion to 10 billion in the next 8 years.

So where did that money go? To massively bloated goverment? NO, to the rich, corporations and MIC!

Not according to the congressional budget Office (CBO). They can do math to. MOST of it went in the 3 huge tax cuts to the rich according to the CBO. Most of the rest went to the military Industrial complex via two bullshit wars.

So how about that math? So get back the trillions in tax cuts bush gave the rich and cut trillions out of the defense budget and then raise the cap on social security and you have your money for social security without anything bad happening!
