So your company squanders your pension money and creates a ponzi scheme to cover the current benefits.
If you are an Enron executive, you get to go to jail. If you are a congressman, people say you're compassionate for the aged.
USA Today has a piece noting that the federal government has a debt load of about 59 trillion, I say, I say, I say 59 TRILLION dollars. Most of which is unfunded social security and health care benefits.
Of course, that's what it would be if the government did accounting as businesses are required to do. But this is the same government where a three percent increase can be called a budget cut.
If you've ever read the novels 1984 and Animal Farm, you understand that it's all about control of the language.
Marvelous.
