They still believe that there is a trust fund even though during the last debt limit debate Obama got in front of the people and threatened not sending out Social Security checks.
Yep, I kept pointing that out too as did just a few in congress. It was a perfect outting of the massive lie and most missed it or looked the other way.
What I have found is that young adults here who are educated and voted for Obama ( which is most of them, clueless) socially liberal, they dont even know about the trust fund, or that SS and medicare are running operational deficits. They dont even understand the payroll taxes beyond what is on their pay-stub.
When I try to explain it they just roll their eyes and say ‘I dont expect to get those anyway so I dont care’
I have yet to meet one who knows anything about it. They just dont care.
Of course when time comes they will think completely differently.
