Social Security is not broke. There is a huge trust fund, which has been invested in federal government spending. Had the SS trust fund been actually invested., it probably would be rolling in dough. And we didn’t even get a toaster.

That means that .gov can only pay itself—nobody else.
The piece of paper I created that says “trust fund” works exactly the same way.
