so many people in America think that Entitlements are so good for the people.
All entitlements do is control the people.
You have to follow the rules that the Government sets up, in order to get them.
Welfare rules, you must be single. The more children you have the more you receive in monthly benefits.
SSI - you receive a set amount of money each month and the adjustment raise is so small that all it does, is go toward your payment of Medicare insurance rise in your premiums.
Thus, you are stuck at at a continual amount of monthly payment.
If you work to try and help pay the rising cost of bills, you are punished by Government taking away you SSI for each dollar amount you earn.
This is not freedom from Government. You become the slave to the rules of the entitlement programs.
If we had a system like Chile where you have your SSI in a private account and a guarantee if the market went down you would still be locked in to the benefits accumulated, this is much better. You would also get more than the government bonds do right now.
You can then have your monthly amount to use each month.
You would be able to withdraw more for emergencies if needed.
You would be able to have the funds transfered over to your spouse or your children after you die.
You could also work if you wanted to, or needed to, without Government taking away your monthly checks.
I don't understand why so many people in America think that Entitlements are so good for the people.
Public assistance programs are good for children, such as those in foster care, theyre good for the disabled, the elderly, and those incapacitated or those otherwise temporarily out of work.
Ignorance nonsense there are public assistance programs such as Food Stamps, TANF, and Medicaid for married couples as well.

SSI recipients are eligible for their states Medicaid program, they pay nothing out of their monthly benefit.

SSI is for disabled Americans, who are not able to work and are not eligible for SSD, as theyve not worked 40 qualifying quarters.
You dont understand because youre ignorant; based on you post you only know conservative dogma and the misinformation perpetuated by the right.
SSI is for Seniors
SSDI and SSID;
The main difference between Social Security Disability (SSD, or SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is the fact that SSD is available to workers who have accumulated a sufficient number of work credits, while SSI disability benefits are available to low-income individuals who have either never worked or who haven't earned enough work credits to qualify for SSD.
While many people don't distinguish between SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance), they are two completely different governmental programs. While both programs are overseen and managed by the Social Security Administration, and medical eligibility is determined in the same manner for both programs, there are distinct differences between the two.
