These proclamations regarding Social Security and Medicare heading for bankruptcy are ridiculous. We are closing in on $33 trillion in national debt. That means those programs are already ‘bankrupt’ - as are ALL government programs.

There are no special ‘lockboxes’ for these programs. It's all ‘funded’ from the general revenue - which we know is overspent by billions every year. Actually, the federal budget deficit was recently $1.4 trillion from October through June.

But Christie wants to concentrate on two programs that those who have worked their whole lives have been counting on.

Just another clueless politician.

There are a lot of programs that better get the axe before they even think about SS.

Cut the fat ...so to speak.
