@commoncents1234 Didn't defend Obama, who also had no desire to deal w/ entitlements. Not sure why absolves POTUS for adopting same policy

SS & Medicare aren't really entitlements tho, right? Trumps plan for these is based on building revenues through employment

Yes, they are entitlements. But regardless of what you call them, they're 2/3 of fed budget, grow every year automatically

it may be 2/3, but how much of that comes directly from FICA? Thats why I hold the position these arent really entitlements

Recipients are paid for out of general fund money. There's no lock box where money you paid in is now only used for you...

Agreed. The SS Trust is no Trust. It's a Ponzi Scheme. But regardless, the money is received. Would love to get that $$ back!

That money just goes into the general fund. It's accounted for even if the accounting is weird. That's my main point.
