Stealing from the Social Security Trust Fund to pay for wars.

Why do politicians now talk about Social Security as being part of the federal budget? Because it is; it shouldn’t be; it was never intended to be...


But it is:


Social Security has become part of the federal budget because Congress has been “borrowing” (stealing trillions of dollars) from the Social Security Trust Fund and now they don’t want to pay this money back so they are developing all kinds of devious schemes to undermine Social Security... raise the age of retirement instead of lowering it, increasing the price of Medicare Part B, failing to raise the employers’ contribution, refusing to make Social Security the living income it was intended to be, etc.

Instead of using the Social Security Trust Fund for the purposes intended- to finance Social Security programs- Congress has mainly used these funds to finance militarism and wars since it has mixed these funds into the general fund with the biggest share of the general fund going to the defense budget.



This “borrowing” (theft) from the Social Security Trust Fund must be stopped as a prelude to any real Social Security reform.
