There are no assets in Trust Fund so I assume money is being taken from general fund. Without spending cuts or increased taxes additional money is being borrowed and added to debt. Is my thinking correct on this or am I missing something. Our new president is gearing up for a big spending spree now. I know better but I'm starting to wonder if there is any downside to spending money we don't have?

Wow! Another thing to credit Trump with: you have awoken from the sleep walk you have been in the last 8 years...Trump is getting things done on all levels!
I applaud your concern, but you would appear wiser if you did a little research prior to making all those assumptions. That will also help you understand what Obamma had done with the deficit...and how you were foolish not to be concerned when you voted in 2012.
