Which is most reprehensible?
(1.) Openly stealing 18 billion dollars from investors in a classic Ponzi scheme?
or,
(2.) Permanently diverting between 112 to 225 billion dollars (over 10 years) from bonds owned by the $2.7 trillion Social Security Trust Fund to finance general the fund deficits caused by placing simultaneous wars on credit cards while reducing tax rates on the 1% to historically low rates?
or, perhaps,
(3.) Attempting to pacify your electoral base by diminishing/mischaracterizing the book-cooking technique used to affect the diversion (the further rigging of the CPI calculation) as a mere "technical change"?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
