Do politicians care about the risk of putting social security funds into the stock market?

[elton]

Former President Bush wanted to put social security funds into the stock market before the market went bust. Politicians are insiders to the stock market because they make the laws. The social security fund was solvent when President Clinton left office. President Bush raided social security to fund the war. Now the GOP are saying the "entitlement programs" should go away so that the rich can keep their money. However, entitlement programs from bailouts to Wall Street to tax breaks to super rich corporations and individuals continue. Politicians are employees of the government, but they do not see their jobs as entitlement programs which have become ineffective when the GOP block all attempts to help our economy. In a private company, they would have been fired long ago. The narcissistic hypocrisy of politics is appalling. Democracy is being eroded in this country. In a corrupt system where money buys law, the GOP wants to be rid of all social programs, our country could become a Communist nation run by the rich and powerful. Democracy is the purest form of government the world has every known. But our nation is being sold to the highest bidder, Capitalism is being worshiped and it is controlling politics and law. Narcissism and and sociopath behavior is evidently at work here. It is a case of the mentally ill making decisions for the 99 percent of Americans.

"President Bush raided social security to fund the war. "

that is patently false. Sorry but if you base your argument on false premises, then there is simply no point in continuing.

Yes. All Democrats care very much about preventing your return being multiplied 1000-fold over what you're getting now.
I mention the 1000 times BETTER return because if you retired right AFTER the market went bust that's how much BETTER your return would be compared to what SS yields.
According to literally 100% of Congressional Democrats SS was already headed for collapse when President Clinton left office. Now the GOP are saying the "entitlement programs" should BE CHANGED so they don't COLLAPSE as all Democrats say they WILL if left the way all Democrats demand they be left.
Of course, since you and I both know with 100% certainty that you cannot cite EVEN ONE way the GOP has balked ANY attempt to help our economy, we likewise both know you're simply repeating what your owner told you, that you can't think for yourself and that you have no idea what anything you said even means.
