social security and medicare

[curmugeon]

The politician have it all wrong... these are the safety net... the 'crisis' is not really a crisis but anther case of 'the big lie', the lie told by talk radio and the other infotainment outlets that call themselves news outlets...if a fix is needed, it is real easy.. just raise the cielong and collect social security taxes on all income, no limit at the top. Up to this point it has been the burden of the working class, enjoyed by all, but a program that the rich have not contributed to, thus why should they have any say in this issue?

I can tell you that this safety net works.. it isn't perfect but it has helped. I still have medical bills to pay, but it is only a fraction of what it would cost without it.
