Bush/McCain won: Social Security Trust Fund raided to bail out Wall Street

[many a good man]

What they couldn't win through legislation to privatize SS they stole outright in broad daylight. Shock Doctrine at its finest.

Trillions in taxpayer money that we don't have can only come from one place: your pocket. Money set aside for our Social Security in the unlocked lock box called the Social Security Trust Fund. 12.5% of your hard earned pay every day, money that is supposed to provide a modicum of security and dignity in old age - wiped out. How in the world are we going to replenish the Trust Fund? Social Security was NOT an unmanageable problem until NOW.

During that long wild ride the bubbles were not all hot air - some walked away with millions, even billions. Where is that money now?
