Will nightly newscasts report on RECORD BUDGET SURPLUS tonight?


Of course not, because there is a deficit.....

the acknowledged deficit doesn't even include the "overpayment" by workers into the SS fund which is diverted into the general fund,

nor does it include the annual "emergency" funding for the "war?" in iraq.

It includes "overpayment" to the SS trust fund as well as emergency funds for Iraq.

Thats the only kind of deficit accounting that makes economic sense.

BTW, the SS "trust fund" is, economically, just a fiction. Its a way for accounting for benefits promises, thats all.

Here is another variation of ( Will nightly newscasts report on RECORD BUDGET SURPLUS tonight? ).

MSM will report on RECORD BUDGET SURPLUS tonight since Democrats took over congress.
