Government is looting our investment trust
As long as we continue to loot Social Security, we’ll never be able to count on a secure retirement. Social Security
has to be sacrosanct. It’s meant to be an investment trust in our future. It can’t continue to be looted by the two parties in order to pay for a continually burgeoning government.
