Also, the Bush tax cuts were only to the general treasury revenues. All the major entitlements have their own revenue streams, except they're all running deficits. May the need to be cut to fit their dedicated revenues. Really nothing is going to happen unless the Republicans put the Dems feet to the fire on entitlements, and that's exactly what their doing.

But that did not prevent us from deploying accounting treatments that enabled partially offsetting deficits in the budget with surpluses in the trust fund. It is either all one big pot of stuff or it is not.
