IS SALISHAN : RAPING THE SOCIAL SECURITY BUDGET FOR WELFARE?

 When I first saw this YouTube I was outraged at where I thought my social security dollars were being spent.  Approved and started during the Bush Presidency, we are now being told that 225 million dollars is being spent (out of the Social Security Budget) to finance a rebuild on what was property on which  low income housing, post WWII, was torn down.

To see this film which was later debunked, if true, would have raised every American's hackles in middle class, unemployed, struggling to educate their children, pay their housing, living expenses and stay ahead of their debts homes..  Picked up and widely circulated by those who, like much of today's media, do not check their sources, I found another example of its circulation.  Click here.
If you scroll down, you will see that even Charles Krauthammer seems to have been taken in.  I've never terribly respected him and do so less now if he actually wrote an article in that magazine. 

I decided to check the ABOUT on the site.  This is what it says:

Note the request for 'people who share their views'.  (Democracy leaning need not apply.)The old newspaper rule of checking three sources seems to have been dropped by most people publishing as though they are legitimate news outlets.   It shows more reasons why one should not believe the talking heads and only very cautiously believe what you read on the Internet..
