“Federal healthcare spending tops Social Security for the first time”
No problem Uncle Sam will just print more money, problem solved. /s
It’s becoming clear that the socialist juggernaut that Obama has started will mean less for you and me and more for an expanding base of poor and illegals, because they think it’s only fair to change the rules so you and I don’t get too much. Enjoy what you have now because that may be all you’re ever going to get. Young people, you’re being taxed for Obama care at a time when you should be saving to buy a house - your quality of life is less than it was for me at your age, and now as a senior, I am being squeezed by changes in the rules. No COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) for three years out of Obama’s years in office. Keep that in mind when you think about your senior years and retirement planning, your government is just waiting to scr$$$ you and limit the amount of income you have to live on. Crappy or no interest rates on CD’s and Elite Savings Accounts, no COLA for your piddly Social Security check ditto for retired federal and postal workers which is my situation, I’m not eligible for SS because my working time was federal and even if I would qualify, they’d cut it 60 percent because of the Government Pension Offset against double dipping. I’m in a situation where the government at all levels continues to raise rates and taxes and costs continue to rise but the government doesn’t factor those costs into COLA configurations, yet they have plenty of funds to bring in refugees and accommodate illegals and many dubious programs.
