Except, as Greenie keeps saying, that SS money will never be repaid, and so, in reality, it isn't really a debt after all, just a theft. It does have the handy quality of funding the income tax break for the wealthy, though. It will be quite a shock to the boomer sheeple when their SS benefits get delayed and gutted at the same time as the continued double digit growth of their medicare premiums. Perhaps in ten years, the medicare premium will eat all of their diminished SS check, thus saving the gov't a lot of money printing checks.
