The trust fund is not funded by any gold or other hard assets

You mean like private accounts holding stocks and bonds? That's a great idea!

Disregarding the sarcasm and cynicism in your post, we can expect that bonds in the SS fund will be backed up by stocks and/or bonds about the same time that bonds held by banks in Russia, China, India, Venezuela, et al., are backed up by hard assets like stocks.

IOW, never.
