Until you can understand what Stewart, Colbert, Maher and John Oliver are saying and their humor, you cannot possibly understand something like SS.

Most Americans have no trouble seeing the humor and brilliance of those comedians, yet you don't understand them.

So trying to teach something as complicated as SS to you is like trying to teach algebra to someone who has not even learned to count to 10 yet.

>>The SS taxes in excess of current benefit payments has been used by SS trustees to buy US bonds. It doesn't matter how Congress spent the cash received from the Trustees, the SS trust fund owns US bonds. When the trust fund needs to start redeeming bonds to pay benefits, either they will sell the bonds back to the US treasury, or they will sell them to other investors. The US will not default on the SS bonds, period.

You may think it is smart but whoever wrote it made no mention of the problem at SS.
