NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

What's the prize for living to 95 by deying yourself life's sensory pleasures? So you can be all alone in the nursing home after your spouse and most of your friends are gone? Knowing you could have lived a few days longer if only you hadn't had that second slice of pecan pie?

So of course this is *wrong* (Social Security is neither "fraud" nor a "pyramid scheme" - you don't "deposit" or "withdraw" from a government spending program), but more to the point: Social Security has undergone numerous adjustments! It's not the same program Roosevelt created in 1935!

n.pr/4f8IxAT From the article: "'[Congress] mimics a lot of the aspects of a senior living facility, so it is hard to walk away from,' Jentleson says."

Jentleson says lawmakers can be reluctant to give up life in Congress. Lawmakers have staff to drive them around, plan their travel and bring their meals, as well as an attending physician down the hall and intellectual stimulation on interesting topics.

"It mimics a lot of the aspects of a senior living facility, so it is hard to walk away from," Jentleson says.

This term, five members of Congress died in office. In an extreme example, the office of then-Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, did not disclose her move to an actual senior living facility. Her son told the Dallas Morning News in 2024 shortly before she retired that she had been experiencing "dementia issues."

A trillion dollars in the form of one dollar bills, stapled together end to end, would stretch about 100 million miles, easily farther than Mars' closest approach to Earth. You might think that's a waste of money, but I guarantee you it's just as likely to happen as Elon Musk getting anyone to Mars.
