I never thought of them as a private organization.

Oh that's right, blame Republicans who want to do something to try and shore it up for future generations..... its always the same in left wing la la land....TAX THE RICH!...only there are fewer and fewer 'rich people' to tax..... and all the hollow promises made by the Progressives are just that, out of money and running out of time.....t ick tick tick........ and so it goes in liberal looney land....

Glad to see you admit when Regan was raiding the fund to build things like pointless missiles and Star Wars defense platforms it was pork.

Borrowing funds from one account viz a viz outside borrowing makes sense, whatever party is in power.

Now, hiding that borrowing by under-reporting deficits, as both parties have long done, is flatly deceptive and poor accounting practice.

Using that history to claim SS is going under is stealing. Anyone with that cash and simple safe Treasury bonds would be sitting pretty, and that's before adjusting for inflation. You, including the money employers paid on your behalf, have easily funded your SS payments by the time you get to them. The rest is bullshit.

The GOP may be stupid, but they aren't morons. The quickest way to lose power is to jeopardize the senior citizen vote. That won't happen again.

Back at you.

If I need money to expand my orchard, should I borrow at today's high interest rates? Or borrow from my savings account?

It's an accounting measure. One that was used deceptively, yes, and by the GOP absolutely as well as everyone else.

Open your eyes.
