Sylvester,
Government has it's own scam going. It is social security. I received a statement from SSA, saying that they are able to pay only 73% of my benefits. If I do not contribute any more, and put all money that they already took in the CD at 3% per year I could receive payments for 100 years after I retire. And they do not have enough money?!!
That scam is bigger then all WCOM's and internets, Oil stocks of the 80s, LTCM, and other defaults combined.
