Money paid to Social Security and Medicare by law must go into the general fund. ALL of that money is owed by us to ourselves.
What money do we owe? Useless paper dollars digitized for nearly $.001? It is a promise made knowing it would never be paid. As soon as the dollar hits the circular tin can, all bets and debts will be paid. $10 Trillion Zimbawean dollars buys lunch there. When we hit the hyperinflation button, the debt to “ourselves” can be paid off with a decent paycheck from 10 people. There, the debt is satisfied, now what do we do?
