Social Security Trust Funds Since 1983, Social Security has collected more in taxes than it spends on benefits and other costs. However, these surpluses were not saved, but spent. Many refer to this practice by Congress and presidents as the raid. Social Security surpluses have been spent on everything from welfare to defense. In return, the Trust Funds have been issued non-marketable Treasury bonds, which are merely promises (IOUs) to repay the money with interest at a later date in time. 5. Which of the following best reflects your view of the Social Security Trust Funds. A.

Social Security Reform Social Security is not a savings and investment program in which a workers payroll taxes and employer match go into a 401(K)/ IRA-type account which the worker owns and controls. Instead, the payroll taxes of todays workers go to support current beneficiaries. One of the results of this pay-as-you go approach is that Social Security has trillions of dollars in unfunded liabilities. Another is that, for all the taxes workers and their employers pay into Social Security and what they receive in benefits in return, the program remains a very bad deal for workers. Three counties in Texas and many countries around the world allow workers to place at least a portion of their payroll taxes in a 401(k)/IRA-type account. Because such funds are invested in incomeproducing assets, the retirement benefits for these works are dramatically higher than what a traditional Social Security program like ours can pay. The result is far greater retirement security for workers. 7. Assuming all benefits are paid in full to current beneficiaries and those nearing retirement, would you favor allowing younger workers to devote a portion of their payroll taxes into their own personal Social Security savings account?
