Because liberals have perpetuated the myth of the social security fund by calling the taxes for social security "trust fund taxes". The issue of a dedicated, actuarially sound system was widely debated at the time but I guess Roosevelt and crew did not care to go that route. A lot of government pensions are not funded either. It would be fun to stick it to the politicians first before anyone else gets stuck.
