I would be happy to see something like this for Social Security, but it is different than the current practice of shuffling Treasury securities and counting it as part of the overall budget deficit...... It is unfortunate, but the public has been led to believe that the money has all been lent out to other government agencies, etc. The reality is the money just hasn't been collected yet. I'm 50 years old, I may see a little of what I've paid in. If you're in your 20s, you are being cheated in a big, big way. The current SS program is no different than any other (illegal) pyramid scheme.
