First of all, there isn't any money left over. We are running a deficit. Our tax cut just made the deficit a bit higher. I don't want pols to take away my tax cut, I want them to cut spending.

I do too, but I'm just relating an entirely plausible scenario, which is that when the currently UNtaxed 401k and other retirement funds start to be taxed as they are cashed in, this will represent (without any changes in the law) a tremendous new flood of revenue for the fed. government. So the concern over the deficits and the debt and even the so-called "unfunded" Medicare, etc. is misplaced. These all will be funded, and there will be still more money coming in.
