It's like with anything else in life.

Those who are most vocal about opposing certain things, in fact engage in the very things they purport to be against.

You can hide it in semantics - - but social security and medicare are "welfare". "Socialism" too.

Welfare cheaters make it hard for those who truly need and qualify for the assistance. They deserve a more severe punishment than they actually receive.

How can SS be welfare when most people get less than they pay in?


Medicare is welfare for corporate healthcare insurance. Seniors will always cost more for healthcare than other age groups. Medicare removed the most unprofitable customers from the for profit healthcare industry.

No, most people take out much more SS than they paid in. With us living longer, especially.
