re: No my point is that it isn't different, at least not in any significant way. The government can not be reasonably said to have a trust fund when it is in debt. You have a real fund if you have no debt and have financial assets in a fund, or if your assets exceed your debt. If you debt exceeds your assets then you are in debt, not the holder of a large positive position socked away for a rainy day. So your point is that we should cut SS spending rather than, say, offensive military spending or pork spending? Even though the tax payers and employers paid money into FICA specifically for SS? John
