...Enter Daniels, head of the other accounting firm in town, the White House?s own Office of Management and Budget. By changing the way Social Security?s payroll taxes were calculated and moving the Postal Service from its traditional spot on the retirement fund?s ledger, Daniels? crew came up with a $4.3 billion Social Security surplus surplus.
