I'll have to research the Johnson comment. All I recall is that Johnson's Great Society gave us Medicare.

that means nothing. If they can be cashed in as you claim, why did Obama during the recent budget crisis say he may not be able to send out the social security checks. It is lies and phoney bookkeeping. Wake up dreamers.
