Just raise the ceiling a be done with it! Trouble is, the House has to originate finance bills, and they won't do this. The Senate would. I don't think that change could originate in the Senate.
I think Reid is being a hard ass as majority leader deliberately, to point out that Social Security isn't really the emergency deficit buster some imply (which even Paul Ryan admitted to yesterday, speaking to a conservative group about Reids' remarks)
