I can't believe people are dumb enough to fall for that who would ever dream people wouldn't understand it is their money the U.S. has a debt they have to repay because CON gress borrowed from the trust fund. Sad that so many people seem to have no problem with stealing from the elderly even those who supposedly honor our Constitution. I would bet they would have a problem with it if it was their Money Market Account of private pension plan who also hold our debt and who's to say if they get away with stealing from SS they won't come after them?
