“I get tired of conservatives like Hinderaker lumping SS recipients with entitlement recipients.”
Would you give up your social security for the good of the country?
“....at the very least i expect the agreement to be kept and I resent like hell for anyone to say I’m on the govt dole. “
I guess not.....but your reasoning is why you are lumped in with entitlement recipients, because SS is an entitlement program paid out of present receipts.
You’re lucky - you’re collecting on it, most folks not already collecting will not.
I’ve given $200K. Would you give $200K for the good of the country. Any answer but no is subject to severe skepticism.. Of course the money is paid out of current FICA taxes and you’ll note I used the word agreement. There was no contract or enforceable promise. Truth be known any Congress and POTUS can end SS payments witha vote and a signature because it’s a law and any law can be repealed. SSS is no more an entitlement than the GI Bill which was paid for by service.
