Frightening indeed!! Is anyone else old enough to remember the pie charts showing how the government kept dipping into SS? For any and every entitlement program? THAT is why SS is in trouble. And it continues today. People who never worked, never paid a cent into the program should not be eligible for SS or title 19, or any other program funded by the SSA.
You bet.
What needs to be done, is to reduce the size of the federal government by millions of positions. We have something like 20 million on the government payroll outside the military. The government has become way too large, and all encompassing.
Lets start by reducing the size of the ever expanding government.
