It’s you that’s posts nonsense. There’s a thing called unfunded future liabilities. Since our government robbed the SS trust fund for decades we acrued DEBT. It’s unfunded debt. It’s only going to get worse with the retirement of the baby boomers and not enough workers paying into the fund. That’s a major portion of our National Debt. That’s why it’s going up no matter who’s POTUS. Trump could shut down the evil vast military complex, tax everyone out the wazoo and we’d still have a massive debt. If we don’t reform entitlements we’re fucked you simpleton.

If we redo the payroll tax, say increase it and cut benefits....we still have the exact same problem that got us a 20 TRILLION dollar debt. That is Defense Spending. Those taxes are either not enough or we spend to much.
You have discretionary spending of which the Military takes up the vast majority of funds and nondiscretionary which has been paid in full.
What you want to do is exactly wtf Reagan mostly did, reform SS nondiscretionary spending and use that surplus to cover discretionary over spending.
You do not want to address the problem that got us here in this 20 TRILLION dollar spot.
Learn the history of these programs.
You are like the God Damn Grasshopper who wants the Ant to give up all he saved so you can eat. Not only that , you want to blame the Ant because he has kept his house in order and you have done nothing but mount a 20 Trillion dollar debt.
You're best response is"Oh yea....well if you do not change your ways, you will be in debt is another 20 yearstoo!"
