instead it's all been tossed into the general fund for the last 40 years to hide the true size of budget deficits. There is no trust fund, just a bunch of IOUs the government wrote to itself.

Which means the money will have to come out of general revenues when it comes due, starting in as little as eight to ten years. Which means the government will be over a barrel.

I sincerely hope you get your money back. I'm not counting on mine. How ironic that the money that was taken from each of paycheck was supposedly put into something called a "trust" fund.
