Calling an individual a name is different than calling a group that voted for ss to go to the general fund idiots.
And it’s an accurate statement wouldn’t you agree?

No, I don't agree with overly broad, inaccurate, and pejorative generalizations used to unfairly label people rather than constructive proposals for solutions.
I don't support name calling even when you know a person, and it is especially abhorrent to label entire generations of Americans when clearly many were not in agreement with those policies.
Social Security receipts are used to pay current benefits. Any excess has been used to buy Treasuries and becomes part of the debt. Entries are not posted to the general fund, they are posted to the so called Trust Fund.
What does happen is that Social Security has over the years been either an on or off budget item. It's always a Congressional Issue and seems to be aligned with whatever political theater/narrative the politicians want to entertain the LSM with.
During the Clinton years, it helped the narrative regarding a budget surplus/reduction of deficits. Now, it makes the budget deficit look even worse, so it will probably be taken off budget shortly, so that politicians can pretend that the budget deficit reduction has been more successful than it actually has been.
Frankly, it is easier to keep track of the truth vs propaganda if it is on budget. When they take it off budget, you will have to do additional research to see how much worse off the financial picture is.
