Its nothing new from government to use Social Security money. They did it for decades and now there's a huge stack of IOU's.

Well folks I think it's tiem to elect yours truly as President of these fine United States for if I was president I'd make good on ALL of thoes IOU's and replace the money by selling things in the White House on E-Bay!

Wow. I didn't expect him to break this particular promise until at least his second year in office. The guy is just full of surprises. I have to wonder though - what will be left for him to screw with if he does it all in his first year?

Nope. It's time for John Cusack. In fact, I am a block captain for his Presidential campaign.

If we ever run out of money, he can just go to the prop guy and get more.

With all the money the federal government $pends you would think they could easily get $9 billion just by holding back the rate of spending increases.
