The person who broke the SS fund was L.B.J. who opened up the SS money to the general fund and let a demo run Congress spend ALL of it on his Great Society. The mans corpse should be dug up and hung on the capitol grounds in Austin.
I'd settle for pulling down that damned Temple of the Deified Lyndon on the University of Texas campus. The LBJ Liberry ought to be located in an East Texas sump anyway. Sump politics was what he did, and a hog-wallow ought to be his monument.
I remember Landslide Lint'n's last day in office. I was a studious young geology student beavering away at a subsurface mapping project, for which purpose I'd been lent out to the Sun Oil Company's office in Lafayette, who kindly let me use their base maps and log files. While I was in a borrowed office, working away, people were gathering around the corner in a common area to watch a big console TV that was carrying Richard Nixon's inaugural ceremonies. Nixon and Johnson were riding up Pennsylvania Avenue together to the Capitol in the presidential limousine. Suddenly a deep Texas voice rang out from among the people watching the TV, in a Jim Davis drawl, resonant and manly, "Adios, m***********! You've done all the damage you're gonna do!!" Talk about a vignette!
And that's what Texans thought about him!
