Good luck to Mr. Paulson on that. Alas, the US Treasury is the ultimate deep pocket. And it's easy to plunder/pillage . . . as most of the time no one is really looking . . . or cares.
I have been screaming about Greedy Geezers for at least 30 years and now that I am....well, at least a geezer, I am still screaming, but it is in a wilderness. Our contribution to Social Security is totally returned to us within two years and after that it is Welfare for the Elderly. Medicare is responsible for the astronomical rise in Medical costs, and the Senior Drug Plan is a rip off and will also increase drug prices. In fact, it has all ready. We seniors are putting our easy living on the backs of our great grandchildren right now. Social Security should be means based! We don't need ours but you know what, we are taking it and banking it for our grandchildren because as things are going they will need it. The gutless wopnders in DC will do nothing because they will be either dead or near it when this all comes tumbling down. BBowers
Very heavy sigh.

Never mind that it's our collective pocket.
