For those who want to whine about "socialists running out of other people's money" let me remind you that social security is owed more than $2.7 trillion by the federal government. If funded, social security is flush through at least 2055.
Then we have this: Wall Street actually ran out of "other people's money" in 2008. This required more than $4 trillion in bailout cash, and trillions more in "rainy day" funds that are still available to America's financial institutions.
So, yeah, tell me again why we can't pay social security the more than $2.7 trillion that it's owed, but seem to have the cash needed for Wall Street bailouts and trillion dollar tax giveaways to the already mega-rich.
