U.S. Politics

No I don't.
W Bush took money and never gave it back.

Prove it. Where did Joe take any money from a "SS Slush Fund" and spend it on Ukraine?

  Check back May 1st - Market are down AGAIN today.

Of course Bush and every other president over the last 50 years except Trump spent billions on wars and proxy wars. That was my entire point.  Biden spent billions on Ukraine.  He wasted trillions on COVID.
Where do you think all that money came from?  Do you think that if the US government wastes trillions on fraud, waste, and war that has nothing to do with the inability to fund social security?  LOL.   If I buy a Ferrari, but then don't have money for groceries, would you say that the money spent on the Ferrari had nothing to do with my inability to buy food?

Trump refused to veto any congressional spending and added $7.8 trillion to the nation debt.  ("The King of Debt")

"The growth in the annual deficit under Trump ranks as the third-biggest increase, relative to the size of the economy, of any U.S. presidential administration, according to a calculation by a leading Washington budget maven, Eugene Steuerle, co-founder of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. And unlike George W. Bush and Abraham Lincoln, who oversaw the larger relative increases in deficits, Trump did not launch two foreign conflicts or have to pay for a civil war."

SS money is invested in Trust Funds for other uses. There is "NO SLUSH FUND diversion"
You're delusional.

LOL.  You don't have a clue about how this works.  Bottom line the money is gone.  There is only incoming revenue and outgoing spending.  There is no magic pot of social security money.  The US government is $38 trillion in debt and growing with no end in sight.  Where do you think the social security money is going to come from when the government goes bust?

You just made that up

Again, revenue comes into the government from various sources and then is spent in various ways.  It is very simple.  There is no lockbox where they keep the social security money.  It is just one more spending obligation. The government either has the money to cover those obligations or it does not.  The US government is $38 trillion in debt and counting.  That is not sustainable which means that social security and every other health and social program will go under if the government goes bust.  You appear to be living in some magical world where money fairies will sprinkle future funds from the heavens to support social security when the money runs out.

I posted a source that clearly shows SS money is INVESTED in TRUST funds for other uses.
What are u talking about?

[Royell Storing]

Tell it to the Orange Buffoon he is all there is now.

   Whatever he does via EO, it eventually will be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. This takes time. And things are being done Legally now. Not like The "10% For The Big Guy" Regime doing things covertly. Like the Autopen Issue that is now coming to light. And people still question there being a Deep State?  Get Real.
