President Bush could do something immediately useful, even if he has to do it by executive order. Instead of pretending that it isn't happening, our caretaker government could immediately stem the recession we're already experiencing. All anyone with the President's power has to do is correct an injustice that's been around since at least the Eighties. Eliminate theft Stop stealing our surplus entitlement money and put it to work for us, instead of against us. Stop stealing our Social Security, Medicare, and all other entitlement surpluses that presently put us more than 100 percent in the hole with nothing but debt to be paid off by the same people who contributed these funds in the first place, their children or grandchildren.
Congressmen even confess to it.
Entitlement money isn't supposed to be used for anything except the purpose for which it was collected. Fiduciary activities managed by people entrusted with the stewardship of property. Just like the federal government's own privatized Thrift Savings Plan that invests in the stock market, municipal securities, and so forth. The only real trust fund the government has along with 163 debit black hole accounts. Such trust funds could be set up for each and every entitlement now being exploited.
