I didn't start the name calling, I was perfectly poised and then you called me ignorant and stupid. And now you resort to misspelling forced sexual intercourse for my final spanking.
You live in a fantasy world, a world that denies the facts and "potential" future of an unsustainable public trust: called social security and medicare (among other programs).
First of all, SSA benefits did not (and do not) accrue interest, the payout is simply what they amortize over the revenue they collect annually. Everyone knows that except YOU.
Second of all, it is a Socialist Program. I'm not sure if you're a conservative, a liberal, since you jump from one issue to another: you're more of a situational quarterback, a pragmatist of sorts. Whether you or anyone paid into it, it is A SOCIALIST PROGRAM. Therefore, you are at hamstrung to that.....I just thought you should know. Taking people's income against their will is socialism, go on, look it up.
Finally, I believe that the SSA needs to explore (like every other department) ways to conserve money. I believe that the SSA should have it's budget slashed by 5% What I would like you to do is take a look at this website:
http://oig.ssa.gov/audits-and-investigationsThen, you can understand what I'm talking about. I'm not suggesting that your monthly check be cut by 5%. I'm suggesting that the fraud, and waste will only be addressed if their budget is cut and case workers are held accountable for the waste. I believe in the first year alone their budget could be cut by 10%, that's about 77 billion. Also, The number of people collect disability benefits has skyrocketed. There are many people, such as some firefighters and police officers in NYC that were caught. Just in that area alone, they $400 million in YOUR BENEFITS.
So at least visit the SSA site and the site above and you will understand my frustration as a tax payer.
