Social Security still has a $2.7 trillion surplus and is good to around 2033 - even with no changes.
Plus, Social Security doesn't cost the government one penny - other than the interest paid on the government bonds held by Social Security - just like China and other holders of U.S. debt.
Social Security is the largest holder of U.S. debt - which is why NaziCons would like to fuck it over.
if the Social Security "surplus" is actually there.....why is raising the debt ceiling to send out the SS checks so important...?
Obama said.... I cannot guarantee that those checks [he included veterans and the disabled, in addition to Social Security] go out on August 3rd if we havent resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.
