When Clinton proposed to use 62% of the budget surplus to "save" Social
Security, and another 15% to "save" Medicare, I thought - isn't the surplus
now 100% the result of SS/Medicare premiums? So wouldn't using just 77%
represent a lesser amount for the rescue than just perpetuating the status
quo? Am I missing something?
