It was creative accounting that caused this problem.
It kinda pisses me off to hear the word "bailout" used in this situation. Social Security funds were never meant to be used for the general budget. The reason Social Security is going broke is because Congress stole the money from the American people.
Yup. And, they spent it to get re-elected.
Ted Kennedy, in office over 30 years...Robert Byrd, in office over 50 years...every single geezer in Congress voted to STEAL your retirement money...They are worse than Bernie Madoff. They “made off” with your money a loooong time ago.
