Add the payroll tax holiday, two Bush tax cuts and growth in the MIC post 9/11 and you have near a TRILLION dollars a year if my fuzzy math is accurate..

Great call out. Will Obama let that Payroll Tax Holiday lapse? That's a great way to raise taxes. Not only that, but as koan points out, they should eliminate the Payroll Tax cap, and as I said, maybe they should means test SS and raise the retirement age. All of those things could make SS solvent for the next 200 years.
