OK, so YOU run on “getting rid of “ Social Security. How intelligent would that be? It is possible to be RIGHT and still be wrong. I appreciate your sentiment however.
There most assuredly IS a TRUST FUND. It is described in the enabling legislation from the original ACT. Quite true that LBJ stole the money from it to hide his deficits— he and the DEMOCRATS did so illegally, and every year since it has happened. It does not change the fact that no one taxpayer has the ability to reduce their “tax” exposure to this mandatory funded “trust fund”.
I would be for privatizing the entire system, as in what has worked for Chile for many years. Why can’t we do this— precisely because of the idiotic political gamesmanship both lying parties engage in on this program. They are worse than Madoff and Corzine combined.
