The sad thing is that over the course of my working life, I paid in far more on social security than I’ll ever get out of it. If I had been permitted to put it into a private investment account, the return would have been much larger.
Only problem was that there is actually no social security trust fund. Instead, Congress spends it all on greasing their supporters’ palms and other current expenses.
Now the bill is coming due. So, we have paid in all our lives, and now they will proceed to screw us.
In fact, Obama is already screwing us, since there was no COLA increase this year since Obama swore there was no inflation this year.
Yeah, sure. Just check out the prices at the local supermarket.
