When did "our leaders" raid SS? During the Vietnam War, LBJ included SS in the unified Federal budget for the first time but that was only to give the impression that we had a balanced budget. It was an accounting measure only. Is that what you're referring to? SSI is paid from general tax revenue and not from SS trust funds.
