Ep 235 - Securing Social Security with John Waggoner Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

How secure is our Social Security? Is it being squandered or is it being kept safe in some kind of lock box? Is it a Ponzi scheme, and if so, how do we use it to get rich quick? The AARP’s John Waggoner explains it all for us. Plus, Bonnie and Toni explore the amazing and troubled life of a man who never made it to retirement age… it’s time for “Al Capone: The B&T Biography.”

Show notes

Should you see the new movie musical “Matilda?” To help you decide, we screen the 1980 musical mess “Xanadu,” starring Olivia’s Newton John, Gene Kelly, the music of ELO, and more roller skates than you’ll ever want to see on one screen. They call it “Xanadu.” Paula calls it… something else entirely!
