(12,506 posts)If funding is cut via taxes and/or it is replaced by some Wall St crap investments or $ from the General Fund - WE'RE DONE.
Once that money is in the Gen Fund, it will be STOLEN for more wars etc and CUT as part of budget crap.
Social Security DOES NOT ADD ONE RED CENT TO THE BUDGET. This is why cutting it as part of any budget plan is INSANE.
HOWEVER if it's put into the General Fund then it WILL add cost to the budget and it WILL be gutted.
AL GORE WAS CORRECT when he said Social Security should be put in a LOCK BOX where NOBODY other than its beneficiaries who paid in can get their hands on it.
If the funding source is changed to "General Fund" or WALL STREET we may as well kiss it goodbye NOW.
Social Security must remain publicly funded and that money must be UNTOUCHED by and SEPARATED from any General Fund or Wall St Casinos.
