Re: Classic George W

Congress started spending SS money in 1983. The democrat controlled congress had no war to fight, just needed more money to buy votes with new ''programs''. When the repubs took over control in the 90's, they tried to stop the spendiing but Clinton continued to ask for more spending than was available. SS continued to loose. The repubs are not innocent either, just did not start the stealing and never did a lot to stop it.
