their vehement defense of not doing anything

Where SocSec and Medicare are concerned there are plenty of Freepers who feel pretty much the same way.

They have a sense of entitlement that would do any welfare queen proud.

I have locked horns with so many of them here over the last year, I'm convinced that we will run these programs right into the ground before we cut one penny of the benefits to the "IT'S MY MONEY AND THE GOVERNMENT PROMISED IT TO ME!!!" crowd.

Yeah, like when they were paying it in, they didn’t know it was a Ponzi scheme destined for collapse and that the promises made were of no value.

They just want to get “their” part of it out before it collapses.

Notary: “They have a sense of entitlement that would do any welfare queen proud.”

That’s not really a fair comparison, because a welfare queen has not paid into the system for decades. I’m not saying you’re entirely wrong about Social Security, but let’s not make unfair comparisons between welfare recipients and retirees on Social Security.

What do you mean "we?" The gov't wastes trillions of dollars on NASA, Medicaid, Depts of Energy & Education, foreign aid, etc., but it's SS and old people draining the treasury?

They have a sense of entitlement that would do any welfare queen proud.
So, people get forced by law to pay into SS and you don't think they've earned it? You sir, are an @ss.
