Stupid is as stupid does.
\ufffdA lot of people in America think there is a trust \ufffd that we take your money in payroll taxes and then we hold it for you and then when you retire, we give it back to you,\ufffd Bush said in a speech at the University of West Virginia at Parkersburg.
\ufffdBut that\ufffds not the way it works,\ufffd Bush said. \ufffdThere is no trust \ufffdfund\ufffd \ufffd just IOUs that I saw firsthand,\ufffd Bush said. Come on, comet. bcnu,

The "lockbox" has been seen on TV.
Located in a government office in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Congress has spent the SSA money and given them pieces of paper.
