All money paid by citizens for social security and medicare, needs to be put into an separate, interest earning account.
It was created to help senior citizens when they retire, or for citizans who become disabled. That is the ONLY thing this money should be used for. It should NOT be given to illegals, it should NOT be given to immigrants, it should NOT be given to anyone who has not paid into it, and it should NOT be used as the government’s slush fund!
Everytime the government starts talking about buget cuts the first thing that comes up is cutting social security. SOCIAL SECURITY SHOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE BUDGET! It should be its own separate account. If government would stop spending it on everything else, there would plenty of money in the account. It would never run out!
The seniors or disabled people receiving it, should get the same amount back that they paid in. Instead they barely get a fraction of the amount and they have to pay taxes on it.
