Of course I realize that, but it was not my idea....the democrats, sometime in the sixties, decided to raid the social security trust and spend the money on their disastrous"war on poverty"......by the way, we lost.. None of that makes any difference at all, FICA is federal "old age security insurance, and as such, must be honored as it was written. We can take a look at SSI, benefits given to youngsters who are "learning disabled" whose parents demand that they stay that way. Disability coverage to people who work at everything but a job, go bowling, play Bingo, drive a new pickup truck....all on your dollar, whose parents are filthy rich. Medicare doctors (I know two) accused of fraud by billing for services not rendered, ordering unnecessary tests, prescribing unnecessary, high cost pharmaceuticals,believe me, our problems are not with honest participants in the program, but with those who would scam the system for their own benefit. The laws should be strengthened to provide VERY long vacations in federal prison for those convicted of stealing from the American people!!!!!
In which case every welfare recipient, every government employee, and most especially everyone in Congress should go to jail.
