So berichtet Berry sogar, dass Simpson jetzt glaubt, es wäre ungerecht, mit allgemeinen Einnahmen irgendeinen Teil der Sozialversicherungsleistungen zu finanzieren.
Indeed, Berry reports that Simpson now believes that it would be unfair to use general revenues to pay for any portion of Social Security benefits. In other words, the large surplus in the Social Security trust fund, which is made up of government bonds that general revenues are earmarked to pay for, does not really exist and cannot be drawn upon.
