Tough problems. Tough answers to solve the problem. Hopefully, this time, everybody can share the PAIN. And, simply cutting the cost of SS and Medicare are not enough. That only affects part of the population and the cost.
Since 1965 when LBJ signed SS/Medicare into law, zillions of us saw our paychecks take a hit for FICA. Did not realize what it was at the time, but it was considered a residual retirement savings account, much like a 401K/.
Turned out it was a Slush Fund for Congress to borrow from, secured by an IOU?? Well, the IOU's are now payable.
Medicare? There is so much fraud involved in claims for payment that it is laughable. Look at your receipts! And, the Fed hires idiots to control it??
Rant by a Senior!! Well, when I am standing in line at WalMart behind a group of indigent folks using FoodStamps, for beer, smokes, steaks, frozen dinners, leg wax, CD's, batteries, Starbuck's Coffee, etc.
I will not vote for any plan to solve our problem until ALL, ALL segments of the problem are addressed, including the DOD, Homeland Security, Welfare and Election Reform!!
