Surplus Social Security Funds

My blood reached the boiling point when I read that Congress is considering spending the surplus that is building up in the Social Security fund. What right does Congress have even considering doing such a horrendous thing? In the first place that money belongs to those of us who have paid and are still paying into it, not to Congress. If there is such a surplus, then the people who were born in the years of 1917-1919 should be given the benefits that those born in other years receive from Social Security.

We paid in just as much money into this fund and if Congress considers spending this money then they are stealing from us.

Let’s get the ball rolling to give the same benefits to those unfortunates born in 1917-1919 and see to it that Congress can’t touch the money.
