“stabilization of Social Security & Medicare”
Meaningless piffle revealing nothing. Instead of bland semantics, deal with the reality. Just to put those programs on a solid footing you will need to either cut benefits, raise taxes or do both. With the coming tsunami of Boomers along with a war weary public, you have a better chance of winning the lottery than witnessing your dream turn into a reality.
The plan is a military and national security plan. It is not a medicare or social security plan. However, for it to work, the economic situation not only has to become stable, it must improve significantly.
So, it states that those programs (among quite a few other statements) have to be stabilized and not threaten budgetary consideration. I believe they can be...but that is not what this particlar initiative and plan are about...it simply presumes it.
