"Jobless tap Social Security early" by Matt Sedensky, Associated Press | August 9, 2010
MIAMI —63-year-old Jan Gissel of Tustin, Calif., was forced into retirement early. She turned to unemployment benefits when her technical support business failed, and filed for Social Security in September. Together, the checks are keeping her afloat....
Gissel wants to continue working but still has not found a job. Although she did not expect to be cashing Social Security checks so soon, she is grateful for the support they have provided....
That may not be a bad idea since the U.S. Government Stole Social Security Surplus.
Better get your money now!
Jason Fichtner, an associate commissioner at the Social Security Administration, said the weak economy has led more people who lost their jobs to retire early. It also has forced some people hard-hit by the recession and in need of a bigger paycheck to push back retirement and stay in the workforce longer....
In other words, there will be no retirement.

Don't worry, the same government that stole it will fix it:
"Hope dims for Social Security accord; Democrats block cuts, Republicans oppose tax hike" by Stephen Ohlemacher, Associated Press | August 12, 2010
WASHINGTON — Despite the rhetoric, many analysts think policymakers will eventually settle on a compromise: small cuts in future benefits coupled with small tax increases....
Gee, what happened to the $2.5 TRILLION DOLLAR TRUST FUND?
Social Security’s short-term finances are being hurt by a recession that shed more than 8 million jobs, reducing revenue from the payroll taxes that support the program....
And the fact that the GOVERNMENT STOLE the SURPLUS!!!
The combined trust funds have built up a $2.5 trillion surplus over the past 25 years. But the federal government has borrowed that money over the years to spend on other programs. The government must now start borrowing money from public debt markets — adding to the federal budget deficit — to repay Social Security.
Then they BROKE the TRUST and DO NOT DESERVE to be trusted again!!!
And now they must BORROW to REPLENISH IT?
Over the next decade, the federal government will pay Social Security more than $1.5 trillion in interest, though the transfers are essentially an accounting procedure, switching money from one government account to another....
Yeah, the same thing you would see in a SHELL GAME -- and is it ever going to COST American taxpayers!!

Hey, look, America!
You have a CRIMINAL GOVERNMENT!!!
