They stole it fair and square over the last 30 years, and since people have come looking for it, the thieves are using every trick in the book to divert attention and avoid being caught with the greedy hands in the till.
Social Security has a 2.6 trillion dollar surplus that they are getting their hands on to pay off the Bush tax cuts extension and the trillions they have spent on wars. They have to get the money someplace so that money is sitting there unprotected by Al Gore's lock box. Social Security never contributed to the deficit.
(and I could be wrong), is they've been "borrowing" it for years, and now it's part of the trillions of dollars the government owes. They want us to just forget that that debt exists.
13. This issue drives me crazy...Yes they (we or our elected officials) stole the money, but how
would have ever gotten that money back, I know on paper is owed back to the American people, but from whom? And how do we go about getting back? and how long does it take us/the government/politicians...etc. to save that much money?
It is owed by those that Boner likes to call the "job creators". Just about every bit of major economic policy and legislation for the last 30 years has been tailored for the benefit of the very few wealthiest to the detriment of the rest of us. They've gotten rich beyond their wildest dreams in the resulting economic environment . How do we get it back? To quote Malcolm X. "By any means necessary".
