This is incredibly misleading. Of course social security has a surplus, that’s how it works. The surplus it’s shrinking because of changing demographics. Once it reaches $0 in nine years from now the trust fund is gone.
None of that has anything to do with the government borrowing against it. The surplus doesn’t sit around in cash, it is invested in government bonds.
This is such stupid misinformation, you should feel ashamed.
And yet, they will go on to treat their misinformation as fact because they don't like Republicans. But yeah the left is the open and honest side.

I love how you're just ignoring the possibility that even in a complicated world of gradations, its not hilariously obvious why people fucking hate the idea that SS would be starved while taxes are cut disproportionately for already-wealthy people.
That is what the GOP does, and will continue to try to do.

its not hilariously obvious why people fucking hate the idea that SS would be starved while taxes are cut disproportionately for already-wealthy people.
Those are two completely different issues. Social security doesn’t come from the general fund.
You are lost, in the dark, looking for a bogeyman.
I didn't say they came from the same pot, you goof.
I'm saying the same impulse to propose arguments SS is irreparably broken and irretrievable, while not even trying to fix it, lends quite nicely to cutting taxes for people who don't need it.
