[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1525362, member: 44954"] The dozens of other programs and projects that you speak of aren't what is bankrupting social security. The program itself is flawed. Neither Dems nor Republicans are willing to tackle the problem. Republicans point at all the entitlement programs like food stamps and welfare, going on about how future generations are going to be paying our debt. Yet at the same time refusing to do anything about the fact that social security is quite literally the exact same situation. The welfare queen rhetoric you posted, at it's core, is something that should be addressed. However, in truth it is often used to scape-goat poor people, avoiding the real problems that create our debt.... Social Security, Medicare, and military spending. Anyone who talks about national debt and isn't discussing one of these three things is simply blowing smoke. [/QUOTE]
