You confirmed that you agreed with everything that Dr. Carson said in his speech. That being said, how is it that you agree with everything President Obama is doing which is the direct opposite of what Dr. Carson envisions as what our country needs to recover from the last four years. Your question back to me seemed to suggest that I should feel guilty about benefits that I am receiving. I do receive military retirement which came with my decision to make the military a career,{and I can still remember that my monthly pay as a 2nd Lieutenant was $222.00/month}. No, I do not receive a state pension. Yes, I do receive Social Security which I paid into like everyone else. You mention Medicare and Tricare which is a sore subject with me. As a part of my decision to make the military a career, I was told by our government that I would receive free medical and dental care for life. Quite a shock that I have $1200.00/year and my wife has $1200/year deducted from our Social Security for Medicare Part B. Also, that deductible increases every year. My concern with all the free benefits today is that there is no incentive t o improve ones' well being by joining the workplace. The more babies a young woman has the more in government benefits she receives. The more babies, the greater cost of Medicaid. This turns into a vicious circle that can't be sustained over a long period of time.
