Bring it on! It is like we have already hit the Titanic and the crew and passengers are just breaking into the liquor closet to guzzle the champagne while the water is filling the lower compartments. 1.5 Trillion … 28 Trillion …352 Trillion …2.1 Quadrillion … Going going GONE! “Investing” in new technologies!

Yesterday, the head of the SS ( no, not the Gestapo – Social[ist] [in]Security ) was saying how the babyboomer retirements and recession has caused the SS to start taking money out of its trust fund SURPLUS! This SURPLUS was collected over the last generation and was “invested” in “Treasury Bills” [salute to Mr. Ponzi!]. In truth, the trust fund paid for some B-2 Stealth Bombers, a plasma TV set for some “artist” on an NEA grant, a McMansion for some Fannie Mae loanshark, and Mubarak’s Swiss Bank Account. Meanwhile, the SS jerk said that the Trust Fund will “last” until 2037 at which point Social Security will be “out of money”.

Ah hell, let’s cut all taxes, double spending, and bring out the booze. The water won’t feel as cold when we are inebriated!
