Social Security trust funds don’t exist. The money for payments will be exhausted, by the latest, 2037; probably much, much sooner.
The Social Security trust fund is a figment of a government politician’s imagination that the dutiful media repeat over and over again.
Money taken from present-day workers goes into general funds, in effect, to pay for current Social Security outlays.
It’s a Ponzi scheme, despite pious denials. It’s not comparable to a reserve-investment or a private insurance company program. The same private, “big-business” plans that politicians love to demonize to suit their populist purposes. ( See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
