<<<<<The government doesn't borrow money from the SS trust fund. Its part of the government.>>>> You're more stubborn than a mule - and dead wrong. The SS Trust fund is money taken out of your check for the single expressed purpose of providing retirement benefits - it doesn't go into the pool for building aircraft carriers. That is why it is a very distinct and separate tax. The government borrowed to fight those two fucking wars wars!!s - To build an aircraft carrier. To play stupid childish mind games to pretend that money is the same as any other government receipt is nothing more than an idelological fantasy land.

You are clueless about fund accounting: The government doesn't borrow money from the SS trust fund. Its part of the government.
