Social Security could be big chill for 50-somethings By Susan Page,

And from this we learn that the bigger the organization or
institution, the less they can be trusted, until they get so
large they can't be trusted at all.

In the 50's the rallying cry for the political right was "who
lost China." In the 20teens it will "who stole social security"
for the majority who lost 7 percent of their gross lifetime
income in one of the most successful Ponzi schemes ever operated.

Major contributing factor is the lack of contribution to the
US Social Security fund by manufacturing labor for products
consumed in the US because of off-shore sourcing.

Mindless stuff. Thats been a tiny part of the workforce for decades now.

This is another of the "off the books" costs that make
the initial cost cheap import goods so expensive in total.

Pig ignorant lie.

Social Security may be in a "lock box" but there is no bottom in it.

Pathetic, really.
