It is.
Although millions of American get their monthly SS check, millions more do not.
Our nation is now incredibly polarized. Every group seems to be against another, and it is every man or woman for himself or herself.
I have never seen it so bad. On their very board, you will jackals and wolves come out salivating with fangs sharpened about some lowly and low paid FBI secretary who got furloughed, screaming that they hope she starves, rolls over, and dies.
People will also shout from the rooftops that "We are broke! Cut! CUT! CUT!!!
But when you proposed cutting their program or check (Social Security, Medicare, SS Disability, etc) then you will get an earful.

Sure, let's cut social security - even though people paid tens of thousands of dollars into it their entire working lives.
But let's continue Obamaphones. How can you have a flashmob without them! and let's continue EBT cards. The casinos and strip joints will go broke without them.
That's fair.
And everybody will fight for their share.
However there is not enough to go around.
This is the hallmark of a bloated semi-socialist government that has exhausted it's resources.
Feckless representatives chosen for their unsustainable promises will not change their spendthrift ways until they are forced to stop.
