    Social Security

    The "trust fund" is a sham, and always has been. Social Security is a pay-as-you-go program, as it has been from day one. The only way the trust fund ceases being a sham is if individuals actually get ownership rights to their retirement contributions. Otherwise, a simple vote of Congress and signature by the President could end Social Security tomorrow.
