Social Insecurity

The Senate rejected an amendment to the 2007 budget that would have required that all Social Security payroll taxes be spent only for Social Security benefits. The vote was 53 to 46. The amendment was sponsored by Senators Jim DeMint (R-SC) and Mike Crapo (R-ID). It did nothing more than require that taxes be used for their stated purpose - Social Security. Unfortunately, the mainstream media gave this little, if any, attention. Perhaps its time to give it a little more 'sunlight.'
