On the recordJanuary 5, 1996
It is the law--and let me underscore that now--it is the law. Both the Social Security law--it is attached to title XLII, section 911--and the Budget Act, title II, section 3631, mandate--and I underscore mandate--that ``the social security surplus shall not be counted in budget deficit calculations by the Congress.'' That is why the budget resolution passed earlier this year showed a deficit. You talk about honest figures. I have heard honest figures held out in front of me until it dripped. That meant my figures were dishonest. I do not particularly like that. But it showed a deficit of more than $100 billion under the Republican plan.
