ok i looked it up

But first I believe that social security trust fund should never have been touched for any reason but for its true purpose.WE can thank reagan for breaking that unwritten law .And i also agree that congress should tell us what earmarks are used for.So is it pork or a earmark,Article 1,section 9 clause 7 each member can request for consideration for specific programs,agencies and federal needs.For district,state,and the united states,this money comes from when they finnish with the budget.Also mine did not answer that question.And that is not right.
