Boehner says, "No money is Social Security Fund or Medicare Fund while 3 million Boomers retire each year."

The Social Security trust fund holds trillions of dollars in U.S. government securities.

Those securities represent all the money that has been stolen to finance the deficit spending of the government.

I say this calls for a bailout. Maybe the 9 billion (or was it 9 trillion?) that went missing in Iraq, and the bailout to international banks could properly be returned to the American people.

This is complete bullshit, its funded completely until min. 2035 or somewhere around there.

More conservative bullshit that they dont even research... Morons.

It is filled with IOU's you dumb fuck.

There is no cash in it. The only way to redeem the IOU's is to print even more money.

Damn you liberals are so fucking stupid and gullible.

No problem. All conservative republican voters have a large amount of savings and investments from working hard and won't need social security and medicare.

They have been using SS as a secret INCOME TAX on the poorer segment of the population for years now (SS taxes cap out at a low level, so the rich stop paying any more SS taxes when their income goes above the cap amount)

SS has been running HUGE surplusses for decades, but that money has then been siphoned off to be spent on general government services.

The reality is SS always was a "pay as you go" system, the "surpluses NEVER EXISTED" in real life. It was just a hidden way to up the Income Tax on the working people and let the Rich avoid paying that additional tax.

There IS no Social Security Trust Fund. It is all a FICTION. Always was and always will be.
