re: In other words they pick the scenarios from the trustees' study that support their case.

The trustee report is a stacked political deck, by Bush partisans. Of course you will say "why would the Bush folks twist the numbers".

re: Even assuming that this tax increase wouldn't negatively effect the economy (not a safe assumption at all) you could just as well say "allowing the Bush spending increases to expire", or to be more specific and realalistic "limiting the growth of future spending increases so that per capita spending doesn't increase faster then inflation".

Are you brain dead? To the Neo's, income has nothing to do with spending. They don't care about debt. The "drug benefit" dwarfs SS as an unfunded liability, but it helped their political agenda. These guys are not going to be disciplined by the defecit, all they care about is world politics.

They are playing both sides, hell, all sides.

You are not stupid... take off your partisan glasses and look at what's happening in the real world. They are bankrupting this country.
