All the more reason for anyone under 40 not to trust the "trust fund". All the more reason for anyone under 40 to be in favor of the biggest tax cuts possible despite what happens to the deficit. All the more reason for anyone under 40 to hope SS goes bankrupt A.S.A.P.

If the "trust fund" were being run honestly, it would be run by INDEPENDENT administrators who invest in the best interest of the future retirees. Instead, the "trust fund" is really a "slush fund" run by the crooks in Washington DC. The "slush fund" issues worthless IOUs called "special NON-MARKETABLE Treasury debt". It is an operation quite similar to Enron. However, the crooks from Enron finally appear to be headed for jail (Fastow, and now Skilling based on today's news). But, the crooks in Washington will not go to jail... in fact, they "make the rules". Well, I repeat, to anyone under 40: You should be very wary of the crooks in Washington DC. They are out to rip you off. You should be in favor of the biggest tax cuts possible regardless of the deficit.
