[Eric Pode of Croydon]

If you're walking down the street with $50,000 in your briefcase and some member of Eric Holder's family comes up behind you, whacks you over the head with a tire iron and gets away clean with the cash, I'll tell you three things that are true.

(1) It is not your fault.

(2) It's the perp's fault.

(3) Notwithstanding both of the above, the money's gone and all the wishful thinking on earth won't bring it back. You just have to figure out how to get along without it.

It's exactly the same for Social Security.

I would like to agree with your analogy...but I just can’t.

One crime is perpetrated by a criminal. The other is by our government.

On second thought...let me think about that for a minute.
