Not a fan of Gore and certainly not defending his policies in general but on that one he was right. It's criminal of the Federal government to comingle SS/medicare $s w/ General revenue $s as we have been doing since the Johnson administration. It just gives the pols more money(it is only in their imaginations that it is theirs) to buy their next election(can you say Pork, Earmarks, member iems) while someone way down the road pays the bill.
