I was listening to a radio talk show host today that mentioned something I had not thought of in  my 43 years. He was doing a comparison between corporate pension plans and the Social Security system. What was poignant was that he pointed out that if a corporation raided a pension fund and used the money for other budgets/funds, everyone responsible would be put in jail.

Social Security is also a pension fund, and for years Congressmen from both sides of the aisle have been stealing from it to grow larger governemt and pork projects. None of them are in jail, but shouldn't they be for stealing from us?

Lets get together a list of Senators to be jailed for this crime. It doesn't have to be limited to the sitting Congress.

 

And if for some reason this ends up being my last post here. it was good conversing with ya'll :-)

I think that it would be a short list to name the ones that should not be put in jail :-)

Can't say anything negative about this one...I have to agree! They force us to pay into it and then spend it as they please!

Hi JQPublix--hadn't talked to you in awhile. Hope all is going well for you. Nor really a response here, but a question--have you read the book Freakonomics? They do some of the same types of metaphorical comparisons like the one above. Interesting read--thought you might get a kick out of it.

Hey mayberryman.

Things are good except for a possible health issue but who doesn't have those. Hope you are well also.

I haven't read it but looked online and might take a look. Thanks. In all seriousness, I've got so many un-read books on my sheles its pathetic. Thats what the computer and tv age will do to ya.

Good to see you back.
