The world sees a celebrity, a “pop star”, not a world leader in the WH.

Turns out that MANY PAY and FEWER GET PAID.

FICA is charged against all wage earners ~ it is paid to those who live long enough who otherwise qualify.

If you never paid FICA you will probably not qualify. If you die you will not qualify.

There are, alas, those who confound Social Security with Supplemental Social Security. SSS is paid out of general revenues. Social Security is paid out of funds received currently ~ although there's a massive multi-trillion dollar overhang where people have paid FAR MORE INTO Social Security than is being taken out.

You aren't one of those people who thinks SSS is paid out of FICA are you?

I didn't bother reading the article but the headline is certainly true.

We've got sophomoric adolescent children in government and our culture is epic in its perversion.

Mr Woodward had beaten the role he played to death regarding the resignation of President Nixon. Anytime a scandal broke out of major proportions, there was Woodward and throw in Bernstein. As if these men were the ultimate judges on "cover ups".

The world is still a huge place. He should define what section of that world is. This being as half of 'em that criticize the United States have their greedy,itchy, larcenous little paws out, for the good old green back.

Oh, make that last sentence read not half of 'em, but most of 'em.

Hey Bob, how about investigating Obama/Holder/Geithner?

You might find shit that is magnitudes worse than what Nixon did.

What have you done lately, Bob?
