Twfowler, RE: " I think politicians will change it later for self serving reasons. "

At some point, the public is going to get tired of self-servingness. The mood could shift on them. I wouldn't be surprised to see this happen over the next few years, where they all get booted and replaced by a more cost-conscious crowd that's keen on making America succeed with productive industries that'll enhance the GDP, rather than laws that promote the real-estate consumption hole.

RE: " I think both figures should be published both now and then. total government deficit, and deficit with SS spending and taxes removed. Ideally neither should have too big of deficit. "

Agreed. SS should be kept separate too.

Regards,
