The Social Security Lie . It is not in trouble!

Time Period	Financial Status
1984- 2016	The Social Security program brings in more money than it spends. The surplus money is loaned to the federal government.
2017-2041	The Social Security program spends more money than it brings in. The federal government pays back the money that the Social Security program has loaned to it with interest. The trust fund ends this period with a balance of zero.
2041-2082	The Social Security program runs annual deficits that accumulate to $36 trillion, which could be covered by (a) adding $4.3 trillion to the trust fund today, or (b) increasing payroll taxes 28% starting in 2041, rising to a 34% increase by 2082, or (c) reducing benefits by 21% starting in 2041, falling to a 24% reduction by 2082.
2083 and beyond	The Social Security Program runs annual deficits that could be covered by adding $9.3 trillion to the trust fund today.[114]

As you can see the Gov. is supposed to pay back the money they took from the SS Trust Fund to keep the system paying benifits at 100% This also includes interest.  This will keep the system solvent until 2041.  Our leaders do not want to do this because the only place to get these needed finds is from Defense!  This is the real reason that they are trying to mess with SS. They do not want to make good on their obligation to pay back your money that was taken from your pay. They will never tell you the truth.  So sad that Americans are so dumb. They will try to scare the Tea Party minions with lies and faulsehoods. Sorry to say but they will get away with it because it takes work to get at the truth. You are welcome!
