Jesse:
The trust fund is not a store of wealth.
To tap the trust fund, new monies must be raised, expenses must be cut, or debt held by the public must be increased.
I'll take what's behind door 3, thank you.
The trust fund makes it no easier to pay benefits than if it did not exist.

Well, why not continue doing what we've always done.
Many government agencies say we are on a unsustainable path.
Well, so what?

That sounds great.
Why not have the Fed buy up the debt held by the public and intragovernmental debt?
Then, we would be out of debt, right?

Folks:
This really seems like voodoo economics.
Do the Fed purchases increase debt held by the public or not?
A link to back that point would be helpful, particularly from a government agency.
Why doesn't the Fed buy all our debt (intragovernmental and debt held by the public)?
That way, we can have zero debt, yet still receive the interest payments, right?
