“BobL, isn’t Social Security “off-budget”?”

In the sense that it doesn’t have to be authorized every year. As long as the Administrator follows the law regarding eligibility and benefit levels, then Congress doesn’t have to do a thing and people don’t even know its exploding cost. That’s the nice thing about an ‘entitlement’.

But yes, it sure as heck is a REAL COST to the federal government and it is included in revenue and spending projections when you see $3T plus numbers being kicked around.
