Bush's Finger is on the Social Security Scale

You know, when the Social Security Trustees Report (God, the gov site is beginning to read like a paid ad by the GOP, or maybe a declaration from the old Soviet Union) came out a couple of years ago and showed yet again an increase in the long-term predicted solvency of the system, I predicted that the Bush Admin would want to change the math behind the calculation to get a more pessimistic result.

Now Tapped (great blog!) found this blogger, Brad DeLong, who did the actual homework and yes, they did monkey with the calculations.

I wonder if any other tweaks to the math have been done since Bush came to office?
