Has the budget deficit really been the cause of the projections moving from 2056 to 2041, or has a changing economy with lower interests rates been the cause? Does the projection of 2041 use funds that are currently just I Owe You's? Fixing the deficit, in terms of the entire budget, would just fix the I owe you problem, but not the fact that more money will be going out than coming in starting in 2016, right?
I'm just a little confused by what the senator said and wanted to see if it was right or not.
