Happy New Year, everybody.
Is anyone else as frustrated with Congress as I am?
We see ridiculous amounts of fraud and waste, yet all they can think of is pleasing their big supporters and giving them what they want.
What about fairness to the people who have paid their taxes all their lives? Congress took most of our Social Security fund over the years when there was a surplus and spent it on their pet projects. They promised it would be paid back before it was needed. Well, now it's needed and they aren't paying it back. Instead, they're looking for ways to renege on doing that.
Congress, of course, exempted themselves from SS and has their own cushy retiremnet program. Are they cutting that? Oh, of course not. Why would they? They get to make the rules, so of course they look out for themselves, first.
Sigh.
