The trust fund is not the property of the federal government.

That statement really doesn't make any sense.

In the first place, as I've already shown there really is no trust fund. It is more an accounting fiction than anything else.

In the 2nd place the Social Security Administration owns the bonds that are the so called trust fund. The Social Security Administration is part of the federal government.
