CBO: Government raids Soc. Security By William L. Watts, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 12:35 PM ET Aug. 27, 2001 WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - Congressional budget analysts expect the government to spend $9 billion worth of Social Security receipts on other government operations as a result of a slowing economy and tax rebates, news reports said. The update by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office follows a marginally more optimistic projection from the White House last week, which saw the government maintaining a non-Social Security surplus of $1 billion in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. The Associated Press obtained an early copy of the report, which is certain to inspire more bickering between Republicans and Democrats over the fate of the so-called Social Security trust fund, which both parties and the White House have vowed not to touch. There goes BUSHKIE....he's doing what he said he wouldn't do....LIKE FATHER LIKE SON CC
