    Its probably true rev, last time I researched the issue $$ borrowed from "entitlement programs" must have T-Bill collateral to replace the "borrowed" $$.

    So technically speaking because there is a T-Bill replacement the "borrowed" money is still there.

    In true Orwellian fashion - Yes, the money is still there in the SS fund even though we replaced it with another "valid" currency.

    I did not deny that SS funds are being misused, I denied that it was going to military spending.

    OH, my bad - Yes I agree because our patriotic POTUS budgeted $700B this year and $715B next fiscal so we don't need to misappropriate anything!

    China, Russia No. Korea, Iran and Syria and rest of the Jihadist world are WORRIED.

    I am amazed at the gall. This man is admitting that the purpose of the investigations is to push the president out of office. To suggest the investigations go away if Trump resigns demonstrates support for a reckless abuse of power. Amazing!!!

    That is the part that really bothers me. Nothing in any indictments have anything even remotely to do with the actual topic of the investigation ... Russian influence in the 2016 election and accusations that Candidate Trump was engaged in criminal activities with the Russians. To search and find nothing but rake up whatever unrelated muck you can is inappropriate.

    I remember President Bill Clinton having sex in the White House, committing perjury as a sitting president in a sexual harassment lawsuit against him, and the matter NOT rising to the level of an impeachable offense. What can they possibly discover in Trumps sex life that IS an impeachable offense by that standard!

    When the courts execute a search warrent, has to be for a specifi thing/area/item, so if the police had warrent to search the home, but not the car, anything found in car not legit as evidence. Same way here, anyhting outside of specifically Russian Collusion shoudl be no go!

    We don't know the official scope of the investigation. The judge in the Man*fort trial saw the documents related to the scope and let the trial go forward. Apparently, the official scope has always been greater than the collusion investigation.

    Hard to say. I've never heard of Mr. Dossier. I doubt he had anything nice to say.

    Actually, I believe you are both right. It has been spent. All that's in the trust fund now is Govt. IOUs and current unspent contributions to fund current obligations. However, some of that is being misspent on the people you mention making the annual shorfall even larger.

    And when the government steals it and replaces it with an IOU, they spend it for whatever they pleas. there is not much doubt some of it goes toward military spending. With the deficits being run, it just about has to.
