They are now saying that Social Security will probably go broke in 2034

Good joke.

Actually social security is to be in a separate fund, the the feds borrow it right out for general deficit spending and put a promissory note in the place of the cash. So, you are right it finds its way to the general pot, and taxpayers will pay the social security money a second time when they replace the raised $$$. The only $ not borrowed is what is immediately paid out in current benefits.

Truth on imgflip. Supah!

But it's still a punny joke! :)

Ouch! Too true.

Yeah they sent me a letter about it 20 years ago. Thanks-a-lot government a-holes.

I won't get it till I'm seventy or eighty.

That's not counting the period from 1971 to 1975 when I received Survivors' benefits after Dad died.

Useless trivia: the largest holder of US Debt isn't China, but the Social Security Administration. Besides paying out benefits to those that qualify, a larger amount has gone to fund our military.
