You da man, HP. I’d been meaning to research this. Thanks for posting.

So, to summarize: For Democrats, raising debt ceiling when deficit is over $200 billion a year: BAD.

Raising debt ceiling when deficit is over $200 billion A MONTH: GOOD.

They were right not to back then. The reason Bush was hated by the time he left office was not because of 9/11 and the war in Iraq, although it was part of that, but it was because him and congress had an orgy spending all the projected surpluses that the OMB said were going to happen in the future.

The SS Trust Fund is an empty pocket that has been picked by the fed govt for decades. It’s easy when you have the key to the lock box and no one in office cares to stop it. They are about to be found out so expect a Repub cave on this and the rampant borrowing and spending to continue. If there’s a rep in the House that has an idea, now is the time to step forward.
