Using Bush Social Security Logic
OH MY GOD! The US Government is BANKRUPT! It is BROKEN! The FY2004 budget short fall was $450 Billion!
The US Government is an UNFUNDED mandate! It can only provide 75% of the money it has PROMISED in spending to the military, health care, etc! With tax receipts of around $1.8 Trillion last year, the US Government is spending $2.3 Trillion! Oh god, what are we to do?!?!
Not only that, the US Government currently has an $8 Trillion short fall created by Republican administrations. That's over 4 times the amount of money the government takes in in one year alone!
That's right, the US Government is BROKEN! Not in 2041, not in 2052, but RIGHT NOW!
Compare the US Government as a whole to Social Security, which is currently running a SURPLUS! How is a program that is running a surplus RIGHT NOW bankrupt and broken, while the government is running a debt even larger than Social Security's projected deficit in 2041 is perfectly fine with borrow-and-spend Bush economics?
