The same way it is now. From the general Fed budget.

Social Security is a giant accounting gimmick. Since 1969 SS trust fund has been borrowed by the Fed Government to hide the real costs of Fed spending.

The Politicians require the SS trust fund be invested in Government Debt. The SS trust fund is a giant IOU. There is nothing there but what is taxed/borrowed to pay it every year.

9-9-9 just eliminates the SS fund accounting gimmick and makes how SS is paid transparent to the tax payers.

Given how bad he did in Vietnam, Medicade, Medicare passed under his watch, and borrowing against SSI to fund the war, I am beginning to wonder...

In 20 years who will be the worse President Obama or Johnson.

IMHO Johnson was worse than Carter....
