While it could be called government spending, social security is not. It is a managed retirement account we pay into. It is government managed retirement fund that the Government borrows from.
If the cap on income related to Social Security were lifted, the problems would go away. But of course Republicans will never agree that minimum wage should be increased, poverty should be addressed or that the rich should have to pay the same percentages that the rest of us do.
