Why did they not pay the tax breaks out of the general fund without using the SS fund at all? Some are saying that they are going to cut the FICA taxes and then borrow the money from the general fund to put back into the SS fund? Does that sound foolish and convoluted to anyone else?? It doesn't make sense to me. Can someone explain why they want to take money out of the SS fund and then put the money back into the same fund by borrowing from the general fund? It sounds like a three-card monte game?
