[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1854949, member: 42270"] You're on the money here. Social Security would be completely solvent if Bush and his Haliburton cronies hadn't raided the fund to go hunt for make believe WMD's in the :censored:ing desert. But hey, let's imagine (for a moment) that it wasn't. Let's pretend that the people paying into SS wouldn't cover the expense of paying it out to retired folks who worked their entire lives. Take a look at the grossly over bloated military budget we have in this country. We spend trillions of dollars controlling and policing a global empire that makes the rest of the world absolutely despise us. Bombing Libya didn't "make us safer." Running the Taliban out of Afgahnistan may have arguably done so, but bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan (a US ally) almost the entire time and led to a resurgent global heroin trade and put US soldiers in the position of protecting child molesters. (Yes, this actually happened: [URL]http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/21/world/asia/us-soldiers-told-to-ignore-afghan-allies-abuse-of-boys.html?_r=0[/URL]) [/QUOTE]
