<<<<< didn't say they should have saved it, I pointed out the fact that they didn't>>>> Yes they did Tim. Did you read the article I posted? You can't just continue to make this stuff up - it makes for a fairyland tooth fairy argument. When the government issues paper to borrow money for stuff like fighting wars - there is every expectation they will need to pay it back. China understands that and it is exactly why they loan us money. It is why anyone loans money to another party. Your ridiculous idea that for some reason the government is not obligated for the SS borrowed money is just bizarre in the extreme. - maybe you are just playing with me? Why in gawds name would anyone loan money if there wasn't an expectation of getting the money back? Your arguments defy every rule of economics - and I'm done trying to explain it to you. If you have no desire to learn and understand this, then you can argue with yourself - I'm done with the topic.
