Which is most reprehensible?




(1.) Openly stealing 18 billion dollars from investors in a classic Ponzi scheme?


or,


(2.) Permanently diverting between 112 to 225 billion dollars (over 10 years) from bonds owned by the $2.7 trillion Social Security Trust Fund to finance general the fund deficits caused by placing simultaneous wars on credit cards while reducing tax rates on the 1% to historically low rates?


or, perhaps,


(3.) Attempting to pacify your electoral base by diminishing/mischaracterizing the book-cooking technique used to affect the diversion (the further rigging of the CPI calculation) as a mere "technical change"?
