Default Re: OT: Rating the President

I hestitate to get re-engaged in this topic, but I would like to make a point about SocSec. When it was implemented, there were something like 13 workers for every person drawing funds. Now that ratio is approximately 3:1, and will drop to 2:1 in the near future. And the funds have been used as general revenue to fund the government since the inception of the program, all the recent talk about the "lockbox" was simply the result of the concern about the changing demographics that threaten the program.
Another point is that if you consider ALL taxes, most US citizens work 5+ months out of the year to pay for the various levels of government.
