Wall St has been drooling over all the money in Social Security trust funds since Reagan's day.
It's been one of those "first they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" progressions (but in a bad sense).
It's gone from being absurd to feeling near-inevitable. Simply because too many voters cannot understand that, no, they won't be billionaires. Ever. (Nor should they or anyone else be billionaires!)
Horrible, watching the future full of elderly pushing shopping carts approaching like a Death Walker out of Star Wars.
