“Thats not true...at one point the SS fund was so large the government...as it always does...commandeered it and passed a law making its contributions go directly into the general fund.”
Yes, it is true. Even before they mixed it in with the general fund, it was still all pooled into one fund to immediately pay the current beneficiaries. There were never any individual accounts.
In reality you are right....but they sold it claiming everyone's money was going into their own acct.....that was the big lie!!!
