Not one single dime of the current debt of the United States has come about as the result of making payments to Social Security recipients. That is one of those 'truths' which tend to confuse the people who watch Faux News. And even if the status quo is maintained, it will be at least 20-25 years before the Social Security account would approach the point where if nothing was changed, it might need to 'borrow' from the general fund, which to some would be simple justice since the general fund has been borrowing from Social Security for something like 30 years.
