"The treasuries issued for this purpose are almost meaningless." Then this whole "trust fund" thing is just a con job. And the government intends to default. And you seem to agree.

"Once social security starts to spend more money than it takes in than social security will have to be paid for in part from regular non-social security taxes." So then, since there isn't enough in the trust fund, the federal government might as well take it all. again .. the word "surplus" in at the center of the con. The trust fund is not the property of the federal government. The way to "fix" social security is NOT to confiscate all of it's assets.
