Three Card Monte
Republicans are rewriting the rules concerning budget scoring and Social Security in order to hide the expected $2 trillion budget deficit when they try to privatize Social Security using "forced savings" accounts. The new language would direct the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to "score social security over 30 or more years," instead of five or ten year period which has been done for years. I think we can officially drop the idea that Republicans are fiscally responsible - as if the huge budget deficits and pork spending by the Republican Congress wasn't what broke the camel's back.
