ParticipantInteresting web site for this thread:
Looks like a commie website. That CEO obviously deserves her $9M salary and those people shouldn’t be complaining that their insurance won’t pay for important medical procedures — at least they’ve GOT insurance! Beggars can’t be choosers you know.
Back to work, SLAVES!

Perhaps that is because Kansas City did not submit a bid to host the Olympics. Only seven cities submitted applications to host the 2016 games: Chicago, Madrid, Rio, Tokyo, Baku, Doha, and Prague.

Both go into their separate trusts, which, by law, can only be invested in non-negotiable special issue US government securities. So the old canard that the goverment is “raiding” the trust funds is just that.
This is true, however the cash collected in those taxes ends up in the general fund. From the Social Security Administration website FAQ:
“Tax income is deposited on a daily basis and is invested in “special-issue” securities. The cash exchanged for the securities goes into the general fund of the Treasury and is indistinguishable from other cash in the general fund.”
So yes, the social security and medicare trust funds get special issue securities that the US government is obligated to make good on, however they are constantly claiming that they won’t be able to make good on these and that they’re going to have to lower benefits or even cancel the program because it’s unsustainable. Why is it unsustainable? Because they are wasting the money on wars, welfare, and bridges to nowhere. What would happen to a private insurance company that squandered its premium money? They could be sued and some of their executives might wind up in handcuffs. Yet when this is done by our government we all just accept it.
