"Fortunatly, at this time, the U.S. government takes in more in Social Security than it gives out."
with so many millions of payrolls (which are taxed to fund SSI transfer payments) gone in the recession that isn't true anymore.
This is the part where the politicians tell you that the SSI 'trust fund' is really just a promise to go out and borrow more money because those taxes were spent back when.
