SS and Medicare aren’t entitlements they are a contract that was forced on us if we wanted employment, however we are so far into it that it would be impossible to shut it off now.
“we are so far into it that it would be impossible to shut it off now.”
Perhaps politically impossible to shut it off now voluntarily, but it will be shut off, eventually, since it isn’t sustainable. If we don’t do it voluntarily, it will be forced on us by reality.
