Which president raided social security?

No president can raid the social security fund. The President has no control over the social security fund . Only Congress can put money in or take money away from social security. No money has ever been actually set aside for social security. Money collected for social security has always been spent as quickly as it comes in. A record is kept and the fund is credited with the amounts taken in and debited for money paid out . They even add interest to the balance of fund, but no real money.

What is the difference between income tax and social security tax?

Income tax is a tax paid on earnings from employment, investments, or other sources of income, and is used to fund government operations. Social Security tax is specifically used to fund the Social Security program, which provides benefits to retirees, disabled individuals, and survivors of deceased workers. While income tax is based on overall income, Social Security tax is specifically withheld from wages to fund the Social Security program.


How much money has been taken from social security and put into the general fund?

The Social Security Trust Fund was established in 1939 to receive monies collected for Social Security through payroll taxes. The monies in this fund are managed by the Department of the Treasury; they are not, nor have they ever been, put into the "general operating fund."However, the Social Security Act specifies that the monies in the fund may "be invested in securities backed by the full faith and credit of the Federal government," such as treasury bills, treasury notes, and treasury bonds, as well as special issue bonds. So, essentially, the government can "invest" Social Security funds by lending them to itself, then spending that money on programs not related to Social Security (e.g., defense, foreign aid, education). This has always been the case.During the Johnson administration, Social Security and other Federal programs that operate through trust funds were counted officially in the budget. This did not mean that it was actually part of the general fund, rather that it was finally recorded as part of the budget.
