I believe that's more "welfare": AFDC, TANF, SNAP, etc. It should be eliminated along with Medicaid, but it's small potatoes compared to the SS/MC Ponzi Scheme.

I'll be crucified for this again ...

We have two choices:

1) Get the government OUT of the retirement plan business. It's unconstitutional and the government is no good at it. End Social Security. End Medicare.

2) Bankruptcy and economic collapse.

Choose wisely. Soon. Before choosing is OBE.

I agree. Things like old age funds, unemployment insurance, disability insurance... These should all be private sector.
