Each year nearly every congress-person in both parties
claims they want to save social security.

But every year they allow every penny of paid-in surpluses
to the trust fund to be spent on other stuff.

The total amount siphoned-off from the trust fund to date is $1.3 Trillion,
With zero plan to pay it back to support future retirees.

Trust fund surplus siphoning continues to help camouflage government spending,
So budget surpluses can be claimed when acutally there are deficits,
Or smaller deficits can be claimed than is really the case.

This camaflauge helps politicians get elected,
Drives up debt like crazy
And destroys social security and other trust funds.

And - destroys citizen trust in government
