Good post. However, it misses emphasizing the immediate timebomb -

THERE IS NO SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUND.The money has been spent, and what is supposed to go into it on Tuesday will be spent on Tuesday afternoon.

This is the biggest scam in D.C. going, and so few Americans (and Freepers) are aware of it. No, I'm not talking out my elbow - when outlays outpace receipts in a few years, our economy is gonna take a hit.

Get real...it's in the lock box!

...which is just behind those old books on 'Constitutional Government' in the White House attic, IIRC. ;^)
