28. just because it's been "spent" doesn't mean it isn't still owed!

Of course the federal government is obliged to honor its congressionally mandated promise to pay benefits. Bush is just trying to weasel out of that obligation like a pension-stealing CEO.

I'm pointing out that "going bankrupt" is bullshit because there's no reason SS payroll taxes have to equal SS benefits in the first place.
