I have repeatedly said that we have a REGRESSIVE TAX SYSTEM, therefore any surplus will always be a social security surplus, which is a different problem than the fact that SS is underfunded. Therefore, the "surplus was a mirage" drumbeat does not FLY. It was real money, wageearners pay the most taxes as a % of income, thats where the money comes from and we had a SURPLUS. Now we have a DEFICIT of epic proportions. Sorry but if Clinton/Gore had created this nightmare FOX NEWS would be on it like white on rice. Now, in some bizarre defense of Bush, the worst president ever, we have to act like all the economic indicators we have used to measure government performance in the past "didn't matter". Total BS. Why can't you ADMIT that Bush is a loser? He is, you know. I think there is some emotional response deep inside male voters who vote republican that has nothing to do with anything but fear of Hillary Clinton or something. It is WIERD. Well there are not enough right wing homophobes left, thank god.
