Now, just so everyone knows, I am myself a recipient of some of those entitlement funds. I’m a disabled Vietnam veteran and I do receive a pension.
Cutting entitlements, especially to the extent that’s needed, would definitely hurt my financial situation, probably catastrophically.
However, I stand by what I said. If I take a hit, then so be it. I’ve been homeless before and survived it. I’m ready to make sacrifices if that’s what it takes to help save my children’s and grandchildren’s future.
It is a fact, that politicians on both sides of the aisle keep lying about the so-called ‘Social Security Trust Fund’. This is a complete fiction, used to make people think their retirement funds are ‘protected’. The truth is, all monies EVER collected as FICA and Medicare, have gone directly into the General Fund.
Don’t trust ANY politician. Especially progressives (socialists). They all have their own self interests at heart.
