re: #33 Obdicut

One of the most annoying constant refrains has been scare-mongering about Social Security. It does need attention; it has nothing to do with the general budget.

It has a lot to do with the general budget. There is no “lock box”. SS funds intermingle with general funds and the SS surplus offsets the national budget to make it look better than it otherwise would. Smoke and mirrors. Bread and circuses. “Debt ceiling”? What a joke. It is meaningless.
