in the company I worked for. The president collected SS, Medicare, and unemployment monies but never delivered it. Went up his nose instead.

My SS earnings show a big fat zerp for that time period.

I recommend checking your account online once a year or when you change employers. This will keep them honest. It's a lot easier to claw back a year of credits rather than years of credits.

That’s what all the rethugs who are soooooo worried about fraud voted to do with Rick Scott.

Company fined $1.7 billion, but as he was only CEO and unaware of what they were doing to make so much money, he got off cough scot-free.

Oh MAN will I celebrate when he’s finally GONE. It’ll take a new “Manhattan-style Project” to help America recover. And our rule of law.

And our self-respect, as individuals AND as a country. We’ll have to rebuild ourselves as a nation that can be trusted again, and believed in, again. And be proud of, again.
