85. You are ignoring the fact that the SS Fund showed a SURPLUS

last year and the year before, and that they had no problem covering their obligations and that the POST outright lied about that.

Either the Post is so ignorant they do not know that the SS Fund had a surplus, and is therefore NOT in a crisis, nor is it in any way connected to the deficit, the debt or the Fed. Budget since its revenue is funded by the PEOPLE and the INTEREST they make on their investment, or the Post is outright lying. I'm betting on the second option.

'Income' means 'money coming in'. Of course the interest on the Treasury Bonds is income.
