<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1300251, member: 29012&quot;]GS may be a private sector financier, but they become a burden on the public sector with TARP. Nevermind that they provided the toxic debt to Greece that helped them off the cliff. Other companies like AIG and GM are a problem for the US govt since they&#039;ve been nationalized, and that&#039;s essentially been done with the TBTF banks, indebting future generations at the expense of propping up the derivatives market at all costs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the US debt has been derived from a lot more than Soc Sec. There&#039;s the $trillion student loan debt and massive defense spending among numerous other things hold their share, but it&#039;s the compounding interest that makes the debt nearly impossible to get under control. I would have no problem giving up my social security benefits if it meant I didn&#039;t have to pay any more into it. It&#039;s a socialistic program, and reminds me of a quote I saw recently, something about being altruistic with other people&#039;s money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
