Can Medicare, Social Security survive 10,000 new boomers a day?
By the time the last of this generation approaches retirement age in 2029, 18 percent of the U.S. will be at least that age, the Pew Research Center projects. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimates there will be 81 million beneficiaries in 2030. For sure, many of those Americans will resist retirement if possible for both economic and lifestyle reasons.

But the explosive volume of Americans qualifying for benefits will put extraordinary pressure on government spending for Social Security and Medicare – two of the premier federal entitlement programs that are gradually running short of cash.
Would it be better to stop Welfare after 2 years, FORCE people back to work, instead of them suckling the government teat forever?
 
Welfare cannot be stopped. In the near future, when every job will require a genius IQ or will be automated, there will be no other survival than welfare.

Caboomm. :)
 
Very funny that a RWNJ finally admits that 10K people retire every day.

Its a good first step but the OP is still ignoring the facts.
 
I wonder why anyone would believe this is an either/or issue.

Can someone explain that please? OP? Anyone?

Well if more people were out in force, not Obama's minimum wage jobs, then more people would contribute to the Ponzi scheme of Social Security and Medicare, making them more solvent, while more people who Obama put in poverty stay on welfare, then those holes in the economy wont contribute to anything.
 
We need to end our War on Drugs

Save a lot of money on law enforcement, judicial system and prisons
 
SS and medicare are easily salvageable.

Medicaid and government assistance suffer because we need a military the cost of the next 21 countries.

Has anyone checked the cost of college grants verses the cost of social programs like SS?

Sure will, when more liberal youth end up dead of Heroin or Opioids soon only Conservatives will be in the US, and then we can do away with the War on Poverty.

War on poverty cost
The War on Poverty has cost $22 trillion -- three times more than what the government has spent on all wars in American history. Federal and state governments spend $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars on America's 80 means-tested welfare programs annually.

Stupid liberals, always bitch and moan about the cost of a Military that protects their rights from foreign countries, that want to take their rights away. Then when I show them the cost of the War on Poverty, they ignore the facts, call me names, then run away like spoiled little girls.

Most benefit programs require recipients to work in order to collect. Take Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), for example. Single parents receiving this grant must work at least 30 hours per week in order to be eligible, and two-parent families must work between 35 and 50 hours a week.

Half of all food stamp recipients are children. More than 82% of all food stamp money goes to households that include children, elderly people, or people with disabilities. There is a 3 month limit on singles and couples without children and some states have gone further to require that they have jobs.

For the most part, the poor have jobs. I suppose you want them to get a second job, single mothers with kids should forgo raising their kids in favor a full time job, and of course children, the disabled and the sick should also work. Everybody works right, except of course the uber rich who live off their capital gains and tax free bonds.

As long as there is supplemental income, then poor people will never try to better themselves. I have cousins who are on the system, and even showing them that I was a minimum wage puke who used God's gifts to succeed, they are too fucking lazy to get off the liberal system.

total liberal BS of course. What qualifies as work can be anything and even that is not enforced by state bureaucracies. Plus, most are poor in first place because of liberal attack on love, family, marriage, schools, and religion. Then, liberals compensate with 100 welfare programs to keep them voting Democratic.

Social Security & Medicare have absolutely nothing to do with Welfare & Medicaid. To stop SS & Mcare from going belly up, DC needs to keep their grubby paws out of it.

all welfare entitlements paid for out of general revenue used by Democrats to subvert our democracy, steal our money, and make us vote for Democrats.

But Social Security/Medicare was SUPPOSED to be kept separate as something the people paid into in order to receive back from it, at either disability or retirement. Not included in general funds. Our taxes paid would go to general revenue for any government programs & budgetary financing.
