It is wrong to use the $2.7 trillion of treasury notes in the trust fund to demonstrate the solvency of Social Security.

I promise you that you and I are for the most part in agreement. I in no way meant to say that the giant ponzi scheme known as social security was in any way solvent, especially after the left's cultural adjustment to convincing Americans to embrace the "nuclear family" and reduce the number of kids we have to save us from the so-called "population bomb". Basically, there are a lot less future "investors" putting into the ponzi scheme, meaning it'll go broke even faster than it originally would.

I just want to make sure that us conservatives are correct in the details when we make our argument. So if you want to make an argument against the solvency of social security, which I 100% agree with, please be careful against using the argument in your prior post from a year ago that there is no SS account or (as some people say) none of us have a SS account. If someone on the fence of converting to our conservative position on SS hears that and realizes, "Wait a second, there really are SS accounts and there really is an SS trust fund", that person may decide not to believe our overall argument against the SS ponzi scheme. That's the kind of error I was trying to correct, not your overall premise that the SS system is insolvent.

Where is YOUR Social Security account? All of your past Social Security contributions have been spent and are gone.
