Les,

>>. Even now, Clinton tried to syphon off 15% of the "surplus" for
Medicare. He was likely to declare Medicare sound, and try to greatly
expand the program. He and Hillbilly both desperately want to creat a
nationalized health system by hook or crook.<<

Yeah, I think that was about the only part of his dog and pony show that "knocked my socks off"......Absolutely to accept that it has been the ever increasing expanions of the Medicare program that put it at risk to start with.

Les? If the surplus was used to "pay back those bonds", what would that mean? The trust fund would then be holding cash instead of long term bonds? What are you arguing?
