I’m accepting your concession - you made a big thing about objecting to what I said - it appears your objection wasn’t actually objection.
But I will say you’re insulting everyone’s intelligence if you expect anyone to beleive:
With the addition of employers' matching contribution, overt a career, the SS payout is almost entirely funded by employees and employers, plus interest earned, so there was no reason for the funds to deplete, except that the government has continuously robbed from the contributions for other purposes
And:
I note you have ignored that the SS funds, which should have been left alone, have been robbed for years - a couple of generations - by Congress to fund other spending programs they love to enact. The program as designed should have been self-sustaining, and would have been but for robbery, in spite of boomers. Boomers created more contributions, too.
We’re not talking about Congress withdrawing money from the ss fund.
Between you and me; always best to google your argument before it’s pointed - you pick up more errors before people notice that way.

What you've conveyed is known as the Hegelian dialectic. The two-party system in the United States is simply meant to "create problems" which each party claims the capacity to solve. If a progressive fails, a so-called conservative will take on the mantle and fix his predecessors mistakes, and vice versa. But essentially, when all is reduced, the same government is there; the same powers are there; administrations are nothing more than scapegoats, taking the heat as inalienable rights as delineated in the Bill of Rights are alienated, disgraced, and sold.
Yep. The only winners are the elites in DC when there are no other alternatives.

Concession? You sure like to read between lines that are not there. My #119:
Ignored for good reason. As I said, the SS Act, enacted in 1935, and to take effect in payout as of 1942, did not anticipate the explosive increase in population following a war that did not exist in 1935, and its successful conclusion by the Allies. Further, as I already said, by 1985, we realized the SS accounts were not taking in sufficient funds to accommodate that increased population rate, but Congress has never fully corrected the issue. Yes, SS funds should be left alone, but they should have also been Congressionally augmented.
Your reply:
We’re not talking about Congress withdrawing money from the ss fund.
"We" who? You and your sock puppet? Congress acts by non-action by pre-empting money that should go into the SS funds, and only they can do it. My argument in a nutshell. That you fail to see the nuance of robbery by their lack of action is entirely on you and your puppet.

There happens to be a better source than Google, but I'll let you find it on your own. I mean exactly what I say, and often do it in nuance. I am a writer by profession, after all. The failure to capture nuance just means you do not read, you skim. That's on you, too. Go pick on someone who is at your speed.

Not really: you vociferously objected to what I said; and it turns out you were actually agreeing with me.

let me correct the very small typo

You were clearly arguing money has been taken from the account; and went multiple posts before all of a sudden arguing that what you meant by:
“SS funds… have been robbed … by Congress to fund other spending programs”
You actually meant:
“Congress didn’t act to fix it”
And by
“SS funds, which should have been left alone”
You meant
“SS funds needed to not have been left alone, and added to”
And by:
the government has continuously robbed from the contributions for other purposes.
You meant:
“The government didn’t actually rob from the contributions and simply didn’t fix them”
And by:
“so there was no reason for the funds to deplete”
You meant:
“Of course the funds were going to deplete”
You clearly just changed your argument half way through. Just because you’re denying it doesn’t mean it isn’t clearly obvious to literally anyone reading this.
I mean come on; why spend three posts arguing against something you’re now telling me is correct?
