Of course, it didn't happen. 2 of the most recent examples were LBJ and Clinton, who both took funds from the SSA and added them to the general fund, thus creating the illusion of a balanced budget, both with congress' approval. So while this plan sounds good in theory, the problem is that we cannot and have never been able to trust our government to keep their hands out of our money. And on drilling, we have an idea of how much we have. The MMS states around 139 billion known barrels of crude located off shore, in ANWR, and in other locations around the U.S.. Of course, that does no good when we have a congressional majority who would rather take a vacation and go on book-signings during an energy crisis than help the people who elected trusted them with leadership, while continuing to smooth over the issue with the 'it's not enough, it won't help, it'll kill polar bears' excuse, and not using any facts to back their claims. If they did choose to seek the facts, they would find that a) we have more than enough to help our immediate needs, b) the very passing of such legislation to access our own oil would drive the price of crude down due to market speculation of more supply coming (much like what happened with Bush's executive order enacted back in July) and c) the technology that has been developed in the drilling process allows underground and out of sight drilling, which will have a minimal effect on animal and plant habitats on the surface of the land, thus making the environmentalists' claims of big unsightly oil platforms outdated. The Dem congress and their fans need to realize that our energy solution is a 2-part strategy: address the needs we have now, and to seek alternatives to address the needs we have in the future. A solid plan for energy cannot exclude either of these steps.
