here is a little tidbit for you...every year the house has to authorize payment of social security benefits, and the senate has to appove it also....so, in essence, 500 or so people can deny social security to the people at any time.....contrary to popular belief, social security is paid out of the general fund, and as such subject to approval every year...

I knew all that already. Most people think SS is some kind of “super fund” that cannot be altered and must be paid. It is nothing but a 15% direct income tax with welfare paid out in small amounts each year.
