Social Security Is Not A Deficit/Debt Problem

This can't be repeated enough. The Republicans want people to believe Social Security has caused the deficit and national debt. It is a lie. Social Security is completely funded by payroll taxes that go into the Social Security Trust Fund. Not a penny of Social Security benefits comes out of the federal discretionary budget. They have borrowed heavily from the Social Security Trust Fund, and don't want to have to pay back their debt, so they tell lies about the program so they can cut the benefits. Don't believe them. And don't let them get away with stealing the money they have borrowed from your hard work.
