I have a novel idea, seniors could start to pay for the services they use.

Socialism never works. You always run out of other peoples money.

Really? My mother has paid into SS all of her life. She also pays for a Medicare supplement insurance that just went up 17%. It's over $3,000 per year. In her 84 years she has used that for two emergency room visits and one wrist fracture.

Her meds are on a different policy that she pays separately for. Well, until I got her off of all of her meds. Then I dropped her insurance.

I agree, if they’d be credited with all of the freebies they bought for the permanent underclass in their 50+ years working. Someday somebody will say that when I retire (a few decades down the road); I’ve been paying taxes, social security, medicare, etc. for over 25 years already, and have never received food stamps, welfare, housing subsidies, unemployment, etc. I think I can safely say I’ve earned credits somewhere...
