John SS has been dipped into by our presidents to pay down the deficit. Who really cares what is put in there, it is still being taken out, and not replaced. The trust fund you talk about John is nothing more then an accounting device full of IOU's. There has never been any money in SS trust fund and never will be, just worthless paper which shows what was borrowed because its not replaced only projected. The US treasury receives tax money from the employees and their employee which is in turn paid out as SS or used by the government. Joe is correct John, Bush Sr and Bush Jr have placed more IOU'S in the trust fund, then any other president. Unless congress acts soon tax payers will have to pump hundreds of millions of dollars into SS or it can go solvent.
