  Welcome to the club.
context: I think this whole issue is presented wrong. I've invested in the US government for over 40 years. I mistakenly thought that the money I invested would be safer than investing in the stock market. I didn't know that the funds would be used for other purposes and some idiot would come up with a rule that Medicare can't negotiate with pharmaceutical companies.
  Looks like I was wrong. >
  
  It wasn't one idiot. It was the pharmaceutical companies who paid off a lot of people, or those people are invested in those companies. Shock shock, it's no wonder why it's so hard to stop them from banning insider trading. >
  
  Your right. And the government has borrowed 17+billion from the fund for other purposes. 
  No link but did just Google it.
