Would never patronize.
I paid for someone’s SS before me, when I really could not afford it, but I didn’t hate em or cry about it like a 3rd grader.
I could give a damn how much or how bad a deal the next set of payers has set themselves up into.
Unless you are 15, you won’t get much different SS than we now do and you’ll quite happily take that monthly deposit.
Anyone that disagrees with your is full of "hate" or "fear" or acting childish.
You are obviously looking forward to Social Security and Medicare with great anticipation.
We didn't "pay into" any fund, vault of money, lock box, or security.
We paid taxes, and those are spent before they are even deducted.
ALL payments for Medicaid and Social Security come from payroll taxes on current workers or new debt.
Period.
As I stated before, I am not for eliminating these programs. They are earned Entitlements, as opposed to the obscene unearned giveaway programs:
Subsidized Phones for Low Income (ObamaPhones), EBT Food Stamps, Medicaid, Section 8 Housing, Unemployment, TANF Welfare, Energy Assistance, EITC, Foster Care Title IV, Old Age Assistance, AFDC, General Assistance Cash, Assets for Independence, General Assistance to Native Americans, SCHiP State Supplemental Health Insurance Program, Consolidated Health Centers, Consolidated Community Health, Maternal and Child Health Assistance Fund, Healthy Start, School Lunch, Job Assistance, Job Training, Minority Job Assistance, Job Relocation, Woman Infants and Children's Program, Nutrition for the Elderly, Summer Program, Summer Jobs Program, Minority Summer Jobs, Hispanic Jobs Program, African-American Jobs Program, Commodity Supplemental Food Program, Special Milk Program, Needy Families, Farmer's Market Nutrition Program, Public Housing, Low Income Energy Assistance, Migrant Education, Title One Grants to Local Education Authorities, Education for Homeless Children and Youth, Even Start, Job Corps, Social Security Disability, Social Security for Refugees, Social Security for Humanitarian Cases, Social Security for Asylum, Health Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood Grants, TANF Child Care, Empowerment Zones for Minority Communities, Urban Development Action Grants, and Family Planning (abortion).
But, they THREE WORST contributors to our debt and deficit are:
1. Medicare
2. Social Security
3. Medicaid
Until these are reformed, we are doomed as a nation.
