I am curious about something else. Are you aware that most financial advisors would advise individuals to both have savings and also debt, simultaneously, through most stages of their lives? Are you aware that many corporations do the same? Apple comes to mind with > $100B in both cash and debt. Why would the same entity have both cash and debt simultaneously?

Your rants about the SS Trust Fund make me think you can't comprehend having separate funds, some of which might have surpluses and some of which might be indebted. In fact you seem almost to be arguing that employment tax should really 100% be considered part of the Federal Gov's annual taxation income, and that payments out to SS beneficiaries should just be considered part of the annual spending bill, and that there should be no accounting for it as an independent fund. That makes sense I guess from your POV which is to call everything an entitlement and lets you have a nice rant against them. But that is not reality...
