I have paid for Medicare for 5 years now and never used it . I am in the V A system and very happy with it . Social security is something I paid into mostly by myself with no employer contributions . I'm just getting my money back . My advice to any body is Pay your home off-- Don't take every credit card you are offered . Pack a lunch instead of going out .

I’m in that boat also Tom, I’m in the Va health system and have been paying into Medicare for a year now. Planned my retirement and so far it’s good.

You don't need either. Good for you. I Will need them. I paid all my life into it. For what? So, the government can use it all for s**t projects?

I want a damn refund if I can't use it

Refund with interest

My Dads advice on social security is this:

The government can't take care of there own money-why do want them to take care of yours?

I think it's a good point.

Sounds like he would rather invest the money his own self

===============
Cutting the Social Security? I hope that was not true. I thought he stated before he'll not cut the Social Security. That could be a L*****ts propaganda to destroy Donald Trump.

I posted on his FB reminded him not to cut the SS. Not sure if that reaches his ear. I'll email him. There are other ways to save the dying SS, and Medicare.

Most seniors depend on SS. Biden has been paying seniors with our tax money to buy v**es.

He is not going to. He just said that because a whole lot of hard cores want to . They are way out numbered .

He's not planning on cutting Social Security. Every politician knows cutting social Security or Medicare benefits is a death nail in their political career.

All you have to do is search for "Trump proposed cuts in Social Security in every budget he proposed". I got dozens of stories on this from many different sources.

Trump does have to care about getting re-elected.

America’s Moses is also on a cut benefits mission.

It is something I paid into for 55 years! It is not an entitlement! They need to stop robbing that money by giving to people that haven’t earned it! Like i******s with stolen ids!!

Agree, we paid into it for that long too. Bad thing is the democrats now are taxing 80% of it, we already paid taxes on it, now we are paying again.

Whether it is Trump or some other President. The dirty little secret that Democrats are lying about is this. Social Security and Medicare will be cut. There is no way around that. You of course know I am right. You simply refuse to admit it.
