They'll make us pay for their fiscal recklessness, and what's worse, we'll allow them to do it. Everybody screams loud enough to make them listen when they even think of taking away benefits, but nobody screams from statements like "unless the government begins paying back what it owes to the fund"...

If government isn't denied use of this money, we'll be back in the same sinking boat. The government will probably never pay back those funds.
