If the numbers are widely reported, then it's up to the press to stop helping politicians deceive the American People. Kerry COULD easily explain that some 150 BILLION from off-budget surplus and has to be REPAID. Since saving Social Security depends on repaying those IOUs for the Baby Boom retirement... using the real numbers helps Kerry explain why Bush's fiscal irresponsibility is such a threat to the program. Those IOUs can only be repaid with on-budget surpluses. Yet Bush sabotaged revenues before there was any real debt-paydown, and created structural deficits far into the future. If the Dems are EVER to get out of the revenue black hole the Tax Cut Psychos on the Right have created... then they MUST deal straight with the American People and expose the Right's real plans to strangle government by sabotaging revenues.
