Parting thought for the day: Social Security
When someone tells you it is a great idea that we piratize Social Security and put some of the money in the Stock Market. Remind them that Social Security was created because of the Stock Market.
After the crash where so many lost their retirement, it was determined that something needed to be done to insure people had something to retire on.

I'll remember this one and use it on the kool-aid drinkers. Thanks.
