You said “Social Security: Last year, 24 percent of the budget, or $888 billion, paid for Social Security, which provided monthly retirement benefits averaging $1,342 to 40 million retired workers in December 2015.”

I have paid into social security all of my adult life...medicare is NOT an entitlement. it’s my money in there. and soon I want it back. what rock are you living under?

prettyobvious?

We pay into Social Security. It is SUPPOSED to be for retirement so it being used to pay out retirement benefits is a bad thing how? If anything the Federal Government owes that fund because of the number of times it has dipped into it for things other than what is is meant for.

Social Security medicare and medicaid are not ‘entitlement programs’ for many many people who use them. Do some actual research and stop watching Fox news.

Please explain to me how something that I am FUCKING PAYING FOR is an entitlement.

No Obama didn’t double the debt. Congress did. They have power of the purse.
