I don't want government controlling more things of ours. Yes, this was supposed to be there for them because they paid into it and it is a shame that the government is spending it like it is their own personal petty cash box. I hate to think what will be there when I retire. I'm sure all the money I paid in will be gone totally and I won't receive anything at all.
