Re: the following statement -John Rother. The President's proposals to
allocate 62% of the unified surplus to Social Security, his proposals to
establish Universal Savings
Accounts (USA's), and the recent proposals put forward by
Chairmen Archer and Representative Shaw have moved the
substantive debate forward.
Social Security has a surplus which is borrowed by the the federal government
to help pay for many government programs. If the government is operating in
a decifit before borrowing SS funds, where does the money come to pay for the
"62%" of funds that will not be available from SS for these programs. . . .
higher taxes ???
