Well maybe some of the BAIL OUT money could go to cover the checks for the elderly. They deserve it. Oh h*ll, Obie would not want to do that.

Now someone is just being a little too negative. Madoff spent all the money on boats, planes cars and homes. Our trusted federal government has safely locked all those t-bills in a safe location in Maryland.
We'll just stroll down there, pick up a few billion in T-Bills, cash them in, and Sazam! Social Security Paid for...
BTW I'm being sarcastic

It’s the biggest ponzi scheme in the entire history of Earth.

Dang!! and I thought I was the only goof-ball who could see that! Keep wondering why they are hammering Madoff...they probably gave him the idea!!
What am I thinking..they are hammering Madoff because they didn’t get their big cut.

My wife and I don’t plan on SS income for our retirement. It will be like winning the lottery if we get any...

Same here but am also thinking it will be time to put a big push on euthanizing...compassionately of course...for us old folks who soon will be a drain on the system.
You can talk the American public into ANYTHING. It’s been proven.

Hmmm.....As a lifetime involuntary contributer to a governmentally planned and guaranteed pension plan, I'm curiously unsurprised.
Are we talking Lotto or foreign aid?

I’m just glad the SS trust fund is so much better than personally directed retirement acc’ts. /sarc
Thanks BL.
