There is no Social Security Trust Fund. Believe me! The Republicans AND the Democrats tout the existance of such a fund, but EVERYTHING comes out of the general budget.

So now the U.S. government ONLY has a SURPLUS of 150 Billion! Or 100 Billion! Or one Billion! Big deal, the government should not have ANY surplus. The national government is not supposed to be a profit oriented organization. Is it?
