I agree, but a someone on another site kept telling me that even if I cut Medicare, Medicaid and social security spending in half through a privatization plan, cut defense spending to pre-9/11 levels and repealed Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy I still couldn't pay off the debt with the surpluses (over a course of years, that is). He got so many facts wrong that I think he may just have been baiting me. He was a moderator, by the way, so I should thank you for being infinitely more professional than he was.
