SECURITY IS NOT PART OF THE DEFICIT PROBLEM! IT HAS A DEDICATED TAX AND IT'S OWN TRUST FUND.[/B]
And clearly you are a retard. It's "Trust Fund" as been being raped to cover the General Budget for years. Also, on the current track the SS taxes taken in will not cover money going out. SS is indeed a big part of our Debt Problem.
Please try and learn to deal with Facts. Nearly 1/3 if I remember right, Of all our Debt, Is in the form of IUO's Wrote against the SS trust fund.
Silly little Libs.
What the fuck's your point? Whether the "Trust fund" was spent on other things or not, the truth remains that, all other things equal, without Social Security the debt would be $2.7 Trillion MORE than it is now.
So what, are you planning on hedging outlays but keeping the tax? Because that's the only way the reform will be deficit-positive...
The concept of a SS "Trust fund" is just an accounting instrument... It's not under a mattress someplace, nor should it be. It's invested like any other retirement plan in what is, for now, the most secure instrument on the face of the Earth (The US Federal Government). What is so difficult to understand about that?
