The money, is being used for other purposes, not Social Security. This is a classic example of why conservatives do not trust Washington D.C. with their money. We are in a time where baby-boomers are working in high numbers, soon the tides will be changed, and the boomers will be retiring in high numbers. At this point, all the money they put into Social Security will have been spent on other Government programs. As I have said before, such tactics would land any private account in jail.
Politicians use the phony numbers for their own benefit.
Some conservatives scream tax cuts, while liberals find new government programs. My friends, the tax laws change with the times, but a new federal program will never be changed. Once inacted, it is with us forever, even when we can't afford it anymore. That is the danger of the liberal approach. I couldn't guess as to why.
