One of the lies that the RW tries to peddle regarding social security is that it will collapse in 2018, when it starts to draw on the trust fund.
You know the meme:
It's not a real account, it's a bunch of IOUs!!
Here is a bit of illustrative theater to help people understand.
Go up to the jerk in question, and make him an offer.
Tell him that if he gives you a 20 dollar bill, you will give him something of much greater value.
When he gives you that bill, give him a penny.
He will, or course complain that you just cheated him out of 19 dollars and 99 cents.
You must explain that all he gave you was some paper and ink, and in return you gave him valuable copper and other metals.
In fact, you have given him something worth more than twice the value of his bill.
He will complain that 20 dollars is more than a cent, and ask for his money back, to which you respond:
Why would you want that? It's just paper, basically a bunch of IOUs from the government! It's worthless! Be happy with your shiny metal!"
