Niether Reid or Boehner call instruct the next congress on how to act. Well they can't short of a constitutional amendment. That is the problem with both plans.
What I'm saying is tackling an issue like SS or Medicare reform needs be handled separately from a simple technical budget manoevre.

You're right there is no political will from either party to tackle entitlement since it is not politically expedient. SS is actually an easier fix than medicare.
