Take the following as truth: Regardless of whether the trust funds are relying on interest income or drawing down their balances to pay benefits, the government as a whole must come up with the cash by reducing overall budget surpluses, borrowing from the public, increasing other taxes, or reducing spending for other programs.
Then the following statement: "The governement is responsible for coming up with the funds no matter how they go about it." is true, false, or inconclusive?
