"replacing revenue the Social Security Trust Fund would have lost from lower payroll tax receipts with money made up from either alternative revenue sources or spending cuts"
So is that "money made up" going to be placed directly into the SS fund?
If so, that's mixing SS funds with general revenue, and it can be argued by the other side that what can go in can also come out.
If not, then it is an egregious "simple depletion" that is not made up after all.
