But I thought these funds were in a lock box like social security! Yeah right...

“borrow” = legislative euphemism for “confiscate.”

This is wrong.
If they can do this, I’m sure they won’t have any qualms about “borrowing” from folks’ IRAs, from folks’ bank accounts, and the list goes on.

I am sure they will try. At least, they will “talk about it.” :-)

We know we told you back when it was created that we'd never touch any of these funds no matter how difficult the economy became. But you didn't actually believe that, did you?

Well, IMO, they can't.
And I have the feeling as a Florida resident that pushing for that would end someone’s career here.

When we said “this is going to end very very badly” a couple of years ago, we were talking about our economy. I think it’s going to apply to our government as well, in the same degree.

On WFLA-AM this morning, I also heard they are talking about charging a 40% “fee” when you use this to pay tuition in the future. So not only are they going to steal the fund, they’ll charge you AGAIN for something you thought you’d already paid for.
I HATE politicians....

Politiicians are crooks. This is what happens when those in Gov’t lack a moral compass.
