Re: The end of the "Trust Fund" myth
"For some reason, idiot Republicans think they can just nullify the law that forced us to put money into the kitty and KEEP the fucking money rather than pay it to us. It is not the government’s money; it is MY money and every other retiree’s money."
Where is this crap coming from? It's not only not true, it doesn't even make sense. Get this straight: the government has been "keeping" the money all our lives. It goes straight into special treasury bills - IOUs. These are turned over, ideally from revenues, but more often by simply writing more IOUs. The government has been loaning itself money and paying itself off by borrowing more money for a long time now. It's all paper.
