In other words collected SS taxes should not be used for anything other than SS payments! It's one way we can control the wasteful spending, while reducing the debt, while insuring seniors now and in the future have access to their money that they've put in. It's one of those very rare win-win-win situations.

Who can have a problem with people getting THEIR money. If they put in $100k, they should get $100k. Not $150k. Their money, but no one else's.

And don't tax it. It was a tax to begin with.
