That would suit me just fine.

Considering that "the government" doesn't spend the SS tax money at all,
you can consider this already done.

You know, you Bush supporters shouldn't work so hard at making brainless

Where does the government not spend the SS money? Is the reason that
Congress and President Clinton could declare a surplus in the budget. They
do not buy treasuries with the money, they just issue an IOU. If there were
government bonds in a depository, then there would be a "trust fund".
