<<koan, I think what you are missing is that you view OASI (SS and Medicare) Trust Funds as distinct from our government's general funds, but it is not. They ceased being distinct when they invested all their cash in Treasuries and Congress spent all the cash on past deficits. There is no OASI lock box. It was raided long ago by Congress.>> No, social security is separate, so don't try and balance the Republican's wasteful expenditures on the backs of the worker! A trick the right wing has used for years is to give all the money to the rich (like bush did) and then when the dems come in and want to give money to the poor the right wing all of a sudden cries we are broke. They callled Casper Weinberger cap the knife when he was head of Health and social serives, but when he became secretaery of defense he spent like a drunken sailor. Raise the taxes on the rich to 75% and put a minimum tax on corporations of 25% until SS is paid back and the deficit is paid off. Look how bush took Clintons surpluses and gave them all to his rich friends. We dems are fucking tired of the Republican's bullshit.
