Did you see the clip of Hillary jumping to her feet applauding when Bush said that? And he pointed at Congress and said, This problem is not going away?
I somehow think that might turn into a very nasty campaign commercial somehow.
Count on it. But likely not this coming election. The problem is that the voter is still unaware what is being done to them.
However, in 2015, when they finally figure out that all of the money that they have been paying out each month in interest on their home mortgage, could have gone right back into their retirement fund, they will be appoplectic.
Unfortunately, they will also discover that the realization has come about 20 years too late.
They'll find a huge amount of the interest they paid on their homes went overseas to the very countries which sponsor terrorism against the U.S.... while their retirement money went directly into the general fund, after a cynical charade about it being safe in government IOU's, where it was made safe by immediately spending it!
They weren't permitted to have their FICA taxes deposited directly into a fund, which could then lend money in the same manner as Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac,; a fund which would have multiplied their money through compounded interest into enough to retire with a smile on..., all the while with those funds being secured, as any secured, high quality, investment grade bond is, by the mortgage on your home...

...then guaranteed the safety of the Arab petro dollar investment in your home loan... with your other taxes, - yes- you see it coming now, don't you?- your federal income taxes, which guarantee Fannie Mae loans. So, in the nutshell, the Arabs run no risk, enjoy tremendous returns in interest in America, which they can't in their own country since paying or accepting interest is against Sharia law, while...
...you can't since only Congress can "protect" your retirement money by paving over most of West Virginia with it.
Americans who voted for the Democrats who set up this insanity pretty much deserve what they will get.
But their grandchildren don't....
It must be the purpose of the Democrats to trash our institutions else they couldn't do such an outstanding job of it. Tonight they looked like a crowd at a junior high school basketball game rather than an audience of dignified legislatures in a joint session of Congress.
