SS did not cause the deficit in any way.

But I do think the thieves who used the surplus to fund their illegal wars and pay for their tax breaks do not want to pay it back.

They also want to keep that fund growing so they can keep spending it on more wars and more tax breaks and more bail-outs. And that is why they want to cut benefits by raising the retirement age and other cuts.

The more money in the fund, the more for their corrupt wars.

The Bush tax cuts added billions to the deficit without any benefit to the American people. And now they are extended, adding more to the deficit.
