How about you just pay off the debt and Give stability to SS and Medicare?

He has my vote, but I want to leave the next generation with at least that stability.

The Social SS paid to those recieving it is but a drop in the bucket compared to the Federal agencies funded from this pool.

Social Security is the cornerstone of the welfare state.
It is the first plank in the federal government’s effort to create a class of citizenry that is dependent on the government.

The payroll tax amounts shown on paychecks generally do not account for the taxes that employers pay.Payroll taxes levied on employers are mainly borne by employees in the form of reduced wages.

Roosevelt falsely promoted Social Security to Americans as a “savings account for the old age of the worker” with contributions made by employers and employees through payroll taxes “held by the government solely for the benefit of the worker in his old age.” This was an intentional lie, but it is what causes people to still believe that Social Security is for Us. It is the largest annual expenditure of the federal government.
