For some reason I have had "Democrats" on this site argue with me for hours claiming Social Security is driving the debt as much as military spending.

I gave up when I explained about the trust fund and T bills accrued by the workers for the fund and a poster replied with a picture of a Social Security check and said something to the effect that because the check said US Treasury on it, it proved the general fund was paying for SS and that it was the largest source of the deficit.

There were those that agreed with this poster, odd that they are all conservative "Democrats", I often wonder why they push Pete Peterson talking points for him and claim to be Democrats while lying about SS.
