I wish the Trough Feeders in Washington would leave Social Security alone. The reason I say that is, we paid the money into the system. In my case I started paying into Social Security when I was 16 years of age.During the Johnson Administration President Johnson wanted to start the “ Great Socity” also he was running the Viet Nam war. The tax income of the Government was not large enough to support both Program. But Johnson and Congress saw this great fund of Money that was in Social Security and as Politician’s always do they wanted to spend it. So in their wisdom they stole the money from Social Security Fund and replaced it with a special issue bond, which is like a note to repay. They then went further and decided the interest on these Bonds should be set at 2%.
If the money had been left in the Program,and allowed to grow with the normal rate of interest we would have no problem. So it is not the fault of the retiree’s that out money that we had paid in was stolen, it is not our fault the return of 2% has not been sufficient to insure the program, again is due to the bungling, thievery, and mis-managemt of Washington
