I know you hate the idea, but Clinton was a fiscally savvy president. What you really should say here in all honesty is, that as far as you could observe, political sawyness happened in coincidence with the presidency of Bill Clinton. Which may not be exactly the same thing. Taro

Al, > You're kidding, right? The GOP wants to kill SS. It was Gore who made a campaign slogan of the SS and Medicare lock box. A quick search through Google came up with this from John McCain (R): ontheissues.org > McCain decried the use of Social Security trust funds for such “emergency” spending as the subsidized reindeer ranches found in the recent emergency spending bill. He also criticized the “lockbox” bill passed last month by the House of Representatives because of its loophole allowing for just such “emergency spending.” “Let’s take the Social Security Trust Fund completely off budget,” McCain declared, so that “no politician can ever use it again for any purpose other than your retirement.” This was back in 1999. As for links showing that the GOP wants to "kill" SS, the only ones I could find were those from left-wing propaganda sites. Tenchusatsu
