Force the government to pay back the SS system the billions of dollars it has borrowed, plus interest and stop the government from borrowing.

That sounds wonderful but you should know that the government has absolutely nothing with which to pay anything that it does not first take from you.

Well, since our money is really just fiat money, I’d just print out whatever money that is needed and simply pay the bill. Congress and the Fed make money out of nothing, why not pay the debt with that quality money??

Soon you will realize what taxes are really used for in this country. With this kind of fractional money system, nobody needs to be taxed other than to be kept in line.

Only if you require repayment in paper currency. The U.S. government has tangible property that can be liquidated, with the proceeds used to satisfy government obligations.

The reality, however, is that the Federals will probably just continue to depreciate the dollar, attempt to introduce new and higher taxes, increase the retirement age, reduce benefits, and suck as much as they can for themselves before the ship finally sinks...all while lying through their teeth to the very folks that they are supposedly serving.
