6. I had hoped for more since it was CBO

But this is not a study that you link to. It is merely a set of unexamined suggestions. More of the same sort of kicking the can to the entitlements. Nothing addresses the effect this has on the health of the entitlements or the close alignment of "Leninist Strategy" type erosion of the link between the worker's money and the New Deal programs. I think it is essential to keep Social Security out of entanglement with the general fund deficit. I am sure that hard labor poor people don't want to trade off their retirement security for carbon tax rebates. I am double sure that retirees don't want to be left out of the rebates as discussed in the report and also find that the rebates end up being paid through reductions in their COLAs or benefits.

Where is the arithmetic?
