Myth #5: The government raids Social Security to pay for other programs

The facts: The two trust funds that pay out Social Security benefits — one for retirees and their survivors, the other for people with disabilities — have never been part of the federal government's general fund. Social Security is a separate, self-funded program. The federal government does, however, borrow from Social Security.

Here's how: Social Security's tax revenue is, by law, invested in special U.S. Treasury securities. As with all Treasury bonds, the federal government can spend the proceeds on a variety of programs. But as with all bondholders, Treasury has to pay the money back, with interest. Social Security redeems the securities to pay benefits.

This borrowing fuels the notion that the government is raiding or even stealing from Social Security and leaving it with nothing but IOUs. But the government has always made full repayment, and the interest increases Social Security's assets, to the tune of $66.4 billion in 2022.

The OASI "trust fund" is filled with the same IOUs that the BRICS nations are converting into gold, Dudley.

You're going to get nothing more than a wheelbarrow full of FRNs that aren't worth a roll of TP.

Again and again, I have to ask myself, are Democrats/Leftists really that stupid?

In no changes are made, the Social Security "trust fund*" will be depleted in the foreseeable future. Because SS is unconstitutional, funding CANNOT be supplemented with funds from the General Fund, so it must not be allowed to run dry. If it were to run dry, the system would have to revert to a pay-as-you-go mode, which would reduce monthly benefits to about 80% of what they are now. That would result in a lot of complaints, but most geezers would be fine.

So it is inevitable that sometime in the next few years a BI-PARTISAN congressional committee will go into a figurative smoke-filled room and devise a scheme to keep the "trust fund" solvent. That scheme will include one or more of the following changes:
  • An increase in the amount of earnings that are subject to the FICA tax (or an elimination of the cap altogether),
  • A slight and possibly progressive raising of the age when one can collect "full benefits,"
  • A change in the formula that calculates the annual COLA adjustment, and/or
  • A slight increase in the tax rate, for either the employee, the employer, or both.
BOTH parties will sign off on the ultimate package, and EVERYONE will complain that it is "unfair." But NOBODY's MONTHLY "CHECK" will be reduced, ever.

Democrats ALWAYS claim that the GOP wants to "cut Social Security," and it is always a lie. How fucking stupid do you have to be in order to believe it?

_______________________
* It is not actually a trust fund. NOBODY has any vested interest in a single dime in the Social Security trust fund. Congress can increase payments, decrease payments, or stop payments altogether, and there ain't a fucking thing anybody can do about it. And when you die, even after paying hundreds of thousands into SS, you heirs will get, at most, a pittance. This is how we know it ain't a trust fund.
