That would be fine, but I don’t think you can stiff people that have been paying in to mandatory programs for decades. That’s called STEALING.
Ending something doesn’t mean people who’ve been mugged for it won’t get it back. As they should. But it should be whittled down to where only those things paid for are paid back. As should Social Security.
It should all be scaled back until all paid back, then ended, period.
We haven't been "paying in to" anything. We have been robbed and lied to. Taking money from Smith and giving it to Jones is called STEALING, and that is what Social Security and Medicare do. The only difference between them and the other welfare programs is that the government is at least honest about them being welfare programs.
