Reply #58: A Question

[MsMagnificent]

I'm FAR from an expert (sadly) on government and especially Social Security issues, but a certain thought has been popping into my head and I wonder if it's legitimate -- PLEASE if anyone knows post a reply so I know if it's worth following up on or a fallacy

This recurring thought is that, as SS stands now, there is no 'sluice' to drain funds... I mean, right now or indeed at any time, with the accountability we have now;, there are X amount of dollars in the funds (Nationally, or in general) and it has to balance.
i.e. If money were to just somehow be drained ...well, it couldn't, not unless there is a clear paper trail back to whatever certain department or department head.
Conversely, once the money is deposited into 'balance-variable' or 'gambling-type' accounts (sorry I do not have the proper terminology); it would be easy, or easier, to siphon off money and pretty well hide WHO or HOW the money 'came up missing'.

Sadly, that's the "Faith" I have in the titular "Leadership" and "responsibility" we have in this fucking White House:
Crooks to end all crooks!
I was literally nauseous when I saw the NYT article saying what a GREAT THING it was that the Fuckers at WorldCom
who stole HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS had to pay
AN ENTIRE 18 MILLION out of "THEIR" money!
Excuse me, but isn't THEIR MONEY comprised of the MOTHERFUCKING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS THEY STOLE?!
So HOW is the (comparatively) paltry 18 million to be repaid such a Great Thing??!

*sigh* I never used to swear like this.
I could memorize an unabridged dictionary and STILL not be able to verbalize the depth of my outrage, so apologies -- swearing is my current, last, ONLY resort.
