On the
U.S. National Debt Clock (real time), scroll down to the bottom line on the right and take a look at the counters for Social Security Liability and Medicare Liability.
Social Security Liability is now at $22 trillion and climbing, and
Medicare Liability is at $34 trillion and climbing.
This is unsustainable, both programs need some serious funding reforms.
The most promising solution is to get them the hell out of federal government hands.

Simple Fix .
Giving away the money already in the bank is not a valid answer .
Raise the ceiling at which the fortunate stop contributing out of their paychecks.
The cut off point, last I knew was $120,000.
But that was 30 or 40 years ago.
So , once you make $120,000 , payments are no longer deducted.
Some people , hit this ceiling in February.
And none is collected for the rest of the year. Raise the cut off point.
Problem solved.
This would be a much better choice than scrapping the program and giving the Trillions already in the bank to
Morbidly Rich People.
No ?
I mean , they actually did not work for Any of that money as you and I did , for our entire lives .
Now , you tell me you’re in favor of being robbed again,
By morbidly rich people Again.
This appears to be a losing battle for left ,
to always be fighting against our own , who if they were smarter they would not be giving away their hard earned money
To rich people who never worked a day in their lives.
Wakey ! wakey !
It’s your country , not theirs.

I think you’re on the right track ,
But , on the wrong train.
