Privitized SS = All Other Fed Programs Get Screwed?
Isn't that true? * is borrowing $144billion from SS this year to minimize his deficits. Yet he wants future presidents and Congresses to not have access to the same "slush fund" that he is presently using to lessen the appearance of his deficits.

Have the R's thought this through at all? If a large amount of SS money was diverted to private accounts, it would not only harm SS, but it would stop the borrowing from SS for the military and every other program that's running a bush-created deficit.

Am I wrong here?
