Re: Understanding the Social Security scam
[ QUOTE ]
The surplus is those contributions made in the past, that were not distributed as ssi benefits, and "loaned" to the general fund, plus the interest those surpluses have earned.

This doesn't make sense. "Surplus" is assets greater than those needed to meet obligations. If I owe you $1,000 tomorrow, and I set aside $10 in my bank account today, I don't have $10 of "surplus", I have a $9,990 deficit.
