[No you and OOPYDOO are ignoring the statement from the SSA that nothing of value exists in the Trust Fund.. IF existing bonds had been purchased on the OPEN MARKET with FICA excess, it would have actually stimulated the T-Bond market by reducing supply.
More nonsense. If Social Security bought existing bonds, that would not put money into the Treasury, therefore the Treasury would have to issue MORE new bonds to finance the government.
