social security should be renamed to senior retirement benefits. for some reason the government thinks its like welfare and its not. taxpayers have been paying for it all along their working lives.
the name connotates a entitlement program such as welfare.
this program was extracted from our earnings as well as medicare was extracted.
when you collect your taxed (social security and Medicare) you get a small stipend and pay for the medical portion. so very wrong welfare should get very little and have to pay for medical. we should get all of our money back with interest when we submit our paperwork for retirement benefits and our Medicare all parts should be free. Or better yet just give the seniors the medical that is given to welfare recipients and give the welfare recipients the medical nightmare that is given to seniors.
