Reply #63: symbolism has its practical uses

I believe the bonds have a direct relationship to what benefits people will or will not get in the future. Those who say "the money has already been spent, and the bonds are meaningless" use that as an excuse to massively cut benefits or massively raise taxes on my nieces and nephews. I say that Xers have a claim on the general fund just as surely as any other bond-holder. As I demonstrated, I will not easily relinquish my claim.
