"SS has run over $3 trillion in surpluses since 1983 yet he claims SS to be one of the biggest culprits in our debt, almost all of which has been accrued since 1983. What's the accounting behind that illogic?"

Well, Dave's point is that money hasn't been SAVED, but has been BLOWN, by presidents of both parties, so, it's not like the MONEY's there - it's just a bunch of pitiful IOU's. I agree with that. Part of the debt IS those IOU's. He just doesn't seem to get that we don't owe it all right NOW.

Dave's a treasure. He's like a real-life Stephen Colbert, the most cartoonish, outrageous, extreme right wingnut you could possibly imagine, only for REAL. He's one of the reasons I hang on this thread, just to get the daily tickle he gives me.
