Unless the government is planning on spending the funds on something not related to Social Security, the funds are there and won’t be touched. It is a lie that it won’t be paid and it would be illegal.

People should call the Liberals bluff and point out that SS is supposed to be in a “lock box” and not be pilfered for general expenses.

If they claim that the funds can’t be protected, then point out that it is illegal or at minimum crooked for them to steal from the retirement fund — the root cause of the mess we find ourselves in.

The same with things like highway funds. I've read that something like 30% is skimmed off the top of highway funds for things not even remotely related to transportation. Then money goes to things like bike paths, rain gardens, and sustainable communities.

If it were up to me, highway funds would go strictly to interstate highways and their bridges. The states and local communities could deal with their own roads. Hell I live on a dirt street and it doesn't cost a dime to maintain because they don't even run a plow down here during the winter.
