<<I think it was Scum that seemed to give the impression that the fund, already collected as FICA, was what was going to be invested. >>

There isn't any "fund", it's all IOUs. What was collected has been spent. Gone. That 15% you paid in has been spent, your SS is part of the debt.

<<I believe the demo/libs are crying foul to scare senior citizens into thinking that their benefits will dry up. >>

Yes they are but they take no credit for spending it dry.
