<<As for SS - the fallacy of a trust fund is a joke. It was spent by both parties. You know that as well as I do - but you want a polarizing issue - not a solution.>> And you're the one polarizing the issue. SS bought treasury notes with the SS surplus. The US govt. has over $7 trillion in debt of which less than $2 trillion is owed to SS. Are you saying SS can't count on the full faith and good credit of the US govt.? If the treasury notes held by SS are a joke, what does that say to those that hold the rest of our debt? The SS crisis is a lie, and just the sort of polarizing lie that you claim to abhor. How do you explain? Steve Dietrich
