God help the poor working people who have invested their retirement funds
into this hoping to collect a meager sum when they retire.

First, it was Gamtel funds that they dipped into, and my theory is that this
is the reason the phone service is going to the dogs. It is entirely possible
that they took so much money out of Gamtel revenues to the point where they
have now decided to get carrier service from the cheaper, smaller carriers
whose service is not as good as the big three ( MCI, U.S.Sprint and ATT) but
whose carrier service fees are chaeper, so they can pocket more of these
telecom revenues because carrier service fees to the big three is definitely
higher. Just a theory but not a far fetched one.

Well, if uncle Tom Saidy is the guardian of SS funds, one thing is for sure.
Yaya will not have much trouble dipping his hand into the pot.  Not only is
our economy in shambles and unemployment rampant, now those who have toiled
all their lives and thought they had put something aside for their old age
now  have these bandits poised to steal  those meager savings from them.
These people don't care what chaos and mayhem they leave behind, but they are
also fools to think that they will not be answerable for their crimes.
