Oh, look!....It's Cleopatra!I would hardly call a trillion plus dollar surplus "broke". Can it(SS) meet i's obligations after 2037? That depends.
When the only entity on the planet that can redeem the assets is the US $1T annual deficit government, it's not a "Surplus", it's a Ponzi scheme
"I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it" Barack "Social Security Really is Bankrupt" Obama, the Downgraded President
The Secretary of Treasury decides what bills are paid but the Republicans trying to make the government default makes my point in the previous post that with Republicans in control it(SS) might be a scheme but not with Democrats.
