The SSA fund is not loaded with IOU's from the Presidents, and certainly wouldn't have skipped over Democratic Presidents, if that power was theirs. The liberal bias really shows with that statement.

The Presidents in this country haven't had the power borrow or lend monies from any budget in government. ONLY Congress has that power.

Lets not try to turn the debate on SSI/SSA abuse into a forum for or against either party. I don't think you want to "open a real can of worms" you mught not like what you find inside.
