Yes, and until last week when they were outed, they were saying it would start going into the red long before the actual date, conveniently ignoring the existence of treasury notes that will keep it funded until the 2042 (or whatever year it is). The transcript of the SoU was the first time I'd seen Bush use the actual date instead of his fear-monger lie.
