your money from you and spends that! Press Release on Tax Code and the IRS.
Social Security is not part of the Federal Budget general fund. It is a separate account and has its own source of income.

You any every taxpayer in the US would like to know the answer to this.
This is my theory:

How the Government Works

Once upon a time the government had a scrap yard in the middle
of a desert. Congress said," Someone may steal it at night."
So they created a night watchman position and hired a person
at $18,000.00 a year for the job.

Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job
without instruction?" So they created a planning department
and hired two people -- one person to write the instructions
for $22,000.00 and one person to do time studies
for an additional $22,000.00 per year.

Then congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is
doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a
quality control department and hired two people.
One was to do the studies for $31,000.00
and one to write the reports for an additional $31,000,00 per year.

Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?"
So they created the following positions:
a time keeper for a $35,000.00 annual salary
and a payroll officer for an additional $35,000.00
Then they created an administrative section and hired
three more people -- an Administrative Officer at $155,000.00
per year, an Assistant Administrative Officer at $125,000.00
and a Legal Secretary at $100,000.00 per year.

Then Congress said, "We have had this operating for one year
with a budget cost of $574,000.00
and we are $18,000.00 over budget.
We must cut back costs."

SO THEY LAID OFF THE NIGHT WATCHMAN

Answer 2

Well, we had a discussion about this in my AP Gov't class. I wasn't really paying much attention. But anyways, all I know is that.. we're not in debt to other countries or anything. I guess the American gov't is in debt to its people. Not that tax payers are in debt to it. The amount continues to get bigger and bigger. It's not something that is going to be paid off. We just keep track of it.
