I didn’t understand then and I don’t understand now how that proposal would change in any substantive way how SS funds were used by the government.

It was just an accounting gimmick.

The only useful thing it did was make the budget deficit look bigger because you took the SS income off budget.

And even that has little impact on Congresses appetite for spending as we can see this year.

The point is TO STOP CONGRESS AND DADDY WARBUCKS ZERO FROM SPENDING. sorry for yelling.

If we could scare the Hell out of them,demanding the SS funds be repaid. Maybe, just maybe we could start to see the spending cut and hopefully ended. NO unfunded mandates..no pig barrel spending.

We have to do something to stop this nightmare heading towards us like a MACK truck.
