"Still not completely understanding." Apparently. "If we remove a revenue stream we will have to replace it with something or we'll cut benefits." Or cut other programs or borrow. It's really not complicated. "Sounds like some charletan accounting practices." Can't disagree, but it's been going on for quite some time. "I think they should make the programs optional. You could opt for the current SS system" No one is suggesting otherwise - at least not among those proposals with a chance of passing. "but the pols need to quit double dipping into it to pay for other programs" Yes.
