	"eliminating Social Security Benefits for just one year would
	completely pay for the deficit."

Yes, but those benefits are paid completely out of FICA payroll taxes,
i.e., taxes that -- in theory -- are earmarked to pay these benefits.

If the feds did their accounting honestly, the Social Security income
and payments would be on a separate budget and wouldn't be part of this
discussion.
