It is but the congresscritters hold the keys!
Yep. The Congresscritters get most of the benefits from the laws they create. This is why none of the US Gov employees are in SS nor are the elected officials. They must know something we don't.
Furthermore, our parents knew in the 60's that this was coming. Just look at the demographics. Now that outsourcing is kicking into high gear, the more jobs sent overseas, the less tax revenue comes in for Government programs. Our problems are just beginning. Just wait another couple of years when the Fed deficit hits $1T per year.
