Entitlements----BULL---- I paid cash for my Social Security Insurance! Just because they borrowed my money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout! Congressional benefits like free health care, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days: now that's welfare; and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements!
Someone please tell me what the Hell is wrong with all the people that run this country!
We're broke and can't help our Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.?
In recent months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile, Pakistan...home to bin Laden...literally BILLIONS of DOLLARS!
Our retired seniors living on a fixed incomes receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government gives Hundreds of Billions to Foreign Countries!
They call Social Security and Medicare entitlements even though most of us have been paying for them all our working lives. And now, when its time for us to collect, the Government is running out of money. Why did the Government borrow from our Social Security in the first place? We have many adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without needed medication, mentally ill going without treatment, etc.
Imagine if our Government gave us the same support they give the people who hate us.
Sad, isn't it?
But 99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.

I agree we all pay into the system. I think the government should just pay us back the money we put in and then stop social security. That way the folks who end up taking more out than they put in can stop that and live on their own savings. Folks like us who paid in for years will likely get anough along with our savings and pinsions to live nice for the rest of there lives. Other folks, the ones who want to get more than they put in, will have to make other plans and stop taking from the next generations...
