I imagine most of that article is accurate, but can’t stomach the insane claim that SS and Medicare aren’t means tested.

Good luck getting anybody here to care about this!
Every time a debate starts here about entitlements I post the link below. Follow it and download the .pdf report and you will become physically ill. It will quickly become apparent that the welfare problem makes Defense, Medicare, and Social Security look like parking tickets!

Thanks for the link.
One of my pet peeves is the first things on the chopping block are defense, military pensions, medicare.
Meanwhile hundreds of billions net are spent on illegals annually. Low wage immigrant households net cost ~$20,000 per household @ 4.5 million households. 2010 study
IBM was rejected twice when they offered to fix 900 billion per year in blatant, easy to identify fraud in medicare.
How much have we spent 'nation building', i.e. setting up Sharia Law, the Moslem Brotherhood, and al-Quaeda in Egypt, Syria, Libya, Iraq ???
