Politics: Bush, Deficit, and Social Security

"People in Congress on both sides of the aisle have said, 'Let's worry about the deficit.' I said 'Okay, we'll worry about it again.'"
-- President Bush, 2/4/05 (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/02/20050204-3.html)

VERSUS

"Vice President Dick Cheney acknowledged Sunday that the federal government would need to borrow trillions of dollars...to cover the cost of the private retirement accounts at the heart of President Bush's plan to revamp Social Security."
