Crooks; they are all sumbag crooks..& they make the Mafia look like alter boys. S.S. was supposed to be an insurance program , not an entitlement program & the Big money bankers have been bleeding it for years. The right wing has twisted it into the form it is now knowing they could cause it to go bust, & the big insurance companies have cussed it under their breath since the day it was born. Mean while the Wall Street puppets we get in Washington just look the other way or come up with half baked ideas to help out their sponsors. -------------------- As for mutual funds running it, they have some of the biggest crooks of all running the funds. There is a hidden reason 96% of the funds under performed the indexes in the last 5 years, & it's not because they are stupid..they have a cute loop hole when it comes to managers trading stocks for their personal gain, and even when the company says no to it, ( and damm few do ) they can still circumvent.. So they say they will have no conflict of interest, hog wash ! They are every bit as crooked as the politicians, in fact they they are politicians in drag. Jim it
