Ooooh, that would probably save a bunch of federal money, making Maryland responsible for DC. Great idea!
OK, maybe we can save the money by making SS an individual-account thing? Right?
You are such a naysayer, with your pulling out the actual numbers. It's much much easier to believe that a big chunk can be saved if you don't actually look at the budget and if you decree that in your hypo, you get to make unilateral decisions. It's really BEST if you can also decree that the only consequences of your changes will be those you intend. Unintended consequences are prohibited.
