Just one quick question:

We are always hearing about how Social Security is going to run out of money.

How come we never hear about Welfare running out of money?

Welfare never pretended to be self-funding with a lockbox* to save the overpayments since the 1980s like Social Security. There's always more welfare money to pass out to get votes.

Do you really want to treat SS the same as welfare?

I don’t see much difference myself to tell you the truth. One’s means tested, the other isn’t.

Where do you think the money in the social security trust fund went to. Welfare. The democrats want to own the entire united states and assign you a place to live, a job to perform, a minimum level of medical care, and a small pittance to buy necessities. Medicaid is not free, your estate and children have to pay for the amount of money you used out of it while you were alive. They are trying to change medicare to the same setup. The death tax will take everything you have built up to leave your children and the lawyers will take what’s left.
