I will detail how the government spends the SS tax money because you
aren't smart enough to figure it out yourself.

1) The government extracts 15% of my income and puts it into the "Social
Security Trust Fund".


Bull****. SS taxes are nowhere near that high. Why do you have to lie to
try and make a point?


Really? When you figure it based on total compensation I am a little low
so, 15% was generous to your arguments.

2) The government takes my 15% and gives the "Social Security Trust Fund"
an IOU in the form of a Treasury Note or Bond.


Uh huh. So a Treasury bond is just "an IOU"? I guess a $20 bill is just a
green piece of paper?


Have you read a $20 bill lately? They are not backed by real gold or silver.
A $20 bill is just that a green piece of paper that can be used to pay
debt's public or private.

3) My 15% is now in the general account of the government.


No more than your neighbors mortgage payment is in your checking account
if you use the same bank.


So, there really is no money, just a bunch of promisies.

4) The government blah blah blah (snipped)

Not really. The group that I belong to is called "smart people who have
boats." We prefer facts to illogic & bull****.
