There is no "surplus". There never has been. SS is just a tax, like many, many others, although it has a prettier label on it that deceives many people, including a lot of Freepers for some reason. It's all just money bundled off to Leviathan in the District of Criminals.

People who think there is some magical account with their name and SSN on it need to have their pictures placed right next to the definition of the word "gullible"

Currently more contributions come into the Social Security System than money going out. The difference between these two is the surplus amount. The money coming minus the money going out.
