Unbeknownst to most folks, a good chunk (about $2.7 Trillion) of that $13+ Trillion dollar debt the politicians keep yammering about is owned to the so-called “Social Security Trust Fund”

The politicians keep dipping into that so-called “trust fund” that us working stiffs keep paying into to fund ongoing expenses as if it were their own little piggy bank. In return, they issue IOUs for future generations of Social Security recipients.

So, without all those billions continually coming in from payroll taxes, the government’s overall debt figure would be almost $3 Trillion higher.

The bottom line here is that, for those of us who are soon to become “Social Security eligible” you had darn well better sign up to receive the benefits of what you’ve paid in over the years just as soon as you can. .

Or, to put it another way, this so-called “trust fund” is a myth and is just as (if not more) “in the red” as the rest of the government is.

Please.
