Clinton is a little bit different since he saved his budget surplus in order to back up social security. (This backup money for social security was later spent by the current administration). | I've never heard of the backup money that was supposed to be "paid to SS"??
Also, how is spending everyones retirement money a better practice than going into debt?? The money should NOT be spent on anything other than the social security of every American citizen. Common sense. |
