Actually, that's part of my point.
The people don't believe that a set amount of *contributions* exist, they
believe that a set amount of *benefits* exist. That is, regardless of
how much money the government claims to be in the "Trust Fund", the future liabailities of the government are based upon "expected payments" nor
"expected assets in the Trust Fund."
I think that at least some of them believe both, but as long as the expected assets are large enough to cover the expected payments, there's no problem.
So the challenge is how to make the numbers agree.
