[quote=livinincali][quote=SK in CV]Social Security benefits are a current debt. [/quote]
Read the supreme court case. My interpretation of the opinion sounds like social security is not a debt obligation. Maybe you have some source of information that contradicts this supreme court case but I haven’t seen it. Seems like they could they could use the rational justification of we don’t have the money to pay in full to not pay at all or not pay in full. Therefore there would be no debt obligation to default on.

There is an obligation. The SCOTUS decision didn’t decide that the obligation didn’t exist. It decided that congressional action which provided for termination of benefits for deported communists was legal. Which was exactly my point. Congressional action can reduce or terminate benefits. But absent that kind of action, SS benefits are an obligation of the federal government.
