If it hadn't been for the sexual revolution and the women's movement, the camel wouldn't have been able to get its nose under the tent.

The more important history involves years of repeated attempts to get at the Social Security "trust fund" and many decades of people making money out of any kind of government spending. The child supprot enforcement program in effect set up a new "trust fund." Billions and billions of dollars in child support pass through the hands of every Tom, Dick, and Harry on the block. You can bet I wouldn't mind having the interest from deposits on their way through the system. Then there's the actual billions the government spends each year running the system through private companies -- companies that don't have to invest anything and do really do anything -- but take their part of the booty.

The interest! Now I see where you're coming from. I was looking at this from a completely different angle. That's why the Feds are involved. The interest on all that money going to the government. What a scheme!

Lol, I feel pretty silly right now. I have to admit that some of your articles confused me because there was a key piece of information that I was missing.
