Here we go again....”I’m a conservative, but I love socialism that takes from others and gives to me”. SS and Medicare are both “paygo”, i.e. they took our money and immediately gave it to someone else (there are no real “trust funds”, “lockboxes”, etc). When we say we are “entitled” because our money was taken from us, we make no more moral sense than someone who mugs you and justifies it on the basis that someone mugged him. “Social welfare programs” are just evil vote-buying ponzi schemes, and ultimately someone gets left holding the bag. Looks like it may be us...
Yup - my retirement planning assumes no government help at all.
Nailed it. Sorry folks, but you’re at the bottom of a collapsing pyramid scheme.
