Wall Street Welfare
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this whole Social Security overhaul thing just a big handout for the markets? Won't it continue to overvalue stocks, now already too fat from the 401K/Ira handout?

Let's call it what it is, WALL STREET WELFARE.

There's a sucker born every minute. Don't be the last one to sell, rubes.

2. The Wall Street gargoyles I know
are the first ones to squeal about someone getting a welfare check, yet a substantial portion their success is based upon government edict and scare tactics with regard to SS.
