Without those points he calls for getting passed in the house, the senate, and then signed as a bill by the president, they're irrelevant.

To me, it looks like since he's calling for that action by the house, he's saying there IS nothing currently to rank Social Security as a priority spending item.

It isn't a bill to be passed read this part again: The federal government receives more than $200 billion in tax revenue a month. Interest on federal debt per month is $29 billion. Social Security costs per month are about $49 billion. Medicare and Medicaid about $50 billion. Active duty military personnel and veterans programs some $2.9 billion each. Those monthly costs add up to around $134 billion - which leaves $66 billion per month left over.

We have the revenue to pay all these programs with 66 billion left over.
