Wow, great list. Shows the union corruption.

amount of money unions took out of the US economy in the last 3 years:

zero

amount wall street did?

10 trillion.

Most of that money never existed in the first place. It was created
out of thin air by Wall Street to fund the housing market and the
construction unions got plenty of that money. The problem wasn't where
the money went, it was what happened when the people who bought that
paper and actually thought it was real, tried to cash it in.

It is a similar situation with the SS bonds.

There is no "similar situation" wrt to SS.
