Medicare and SS are not sound actuarially. They are unsustainable unless you raise taxes or reduce benefits or some combination of both.

We can start by removing all of the SSI payments and SS Payments to anyone who did not contribute into the system, 1st.
Washington can create a new fund to fund them and let them vote on those monies every year.

This is what the left has conditioned us to think. That all money now being spent by govt. has to be spent.

Truth is it does not have to be spent if you don't qualify.

Agree we need to review the funding mechanism for SS and Medicare, which are on automatic pilot despite comprising about two thirds of the federal budget.

40% of all Medicare funding comes from the General Fund, a little known fact. By law, 75% of all Medicare Part B costs come from the General Fund.
