I hear you, but my point was that the embezzlement is seen as no big deal. When Algore was trying to campaign on the issue the media had every opportunity to make a point of it. However, being the good liberals that they are they remained silent on the issue, as did, both parties in congress.
(For discussion only, NOT picking fights!)The embezzlement of SS by both parties is small potatos compared to the theft that occurred after LBJ opened the vault and told the Congress to “have at it!”. (Unless, by “embezzlement”, you ARE addressing the open theft of SS funds by the Congress! In that case, we are on the same page and you may feel free to disregard my entire reply)
There is so much rampant theft of SS funds by politicians to buy every possible vote (and them some!) through any means possible, that the fact that SS is going broke fast should not be a surprise.
