This isn't a recent problem. It's the reason that people have been talking about the SS crisis for a number of years now. There was no law in place that prevented the government from utilizing the funds, and logging an IOU to the fund.
That's the reason that they keep talking about reducing benefits, even though it would be political suicide to do so.

For years now, our country (and many of it's citizens) have been living beyond it's means -- now the bills are coming due and the party is definitely over. Hard choices ahead.
