Making The Social Security administration an independent agency will prevent The Congress or Administrations from diverting Social Security funds to other uses and replacing them with worthless ( unfunded) I.O.U.s. S.S. funds should only be used for; Social Security Insurance, Supplimental Security Income, Social Security Disability Insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. Social Security would most likely be completely solvent if not for past diversions of Social Security funds by Congress, and past Administrations. There should be an Independent Director and Trustees managing an independent and Secure Trust Fund (Independent of direct Congressional; Access, Control, or Political Manipulation).
The Social Security Trust fund is not and ought not be a part of the Federal Operating Budget.
