But that is *exactly* what happens NOW. There IS NO TRUST FUND. Some government securities are bought, yeah, but what is the difference between selling securities to ourselves and selling them to the public? *We* still owe the money. AND WHEN THE SECURITIES GET BOUGHT, THE MONEY FROM THE SALE GOES RIGHT INTO THE GENERAL FUND. Get it? And the same amount of securities get sold either way. And when they come due, the money comes right out of our pockets, just like usual. BTW, I heard the correct figure for Democratic weasel Senators is actually SIX, those who had voted for the exact same amendment in prior votes (WITHOUT any exemption for SS) and now, when it was actually going to pass, changed their vote. -Karl
