[Q
I will decipher it for you.
Social Security
I was wrong. You didn't know what it was. Just like most conservatives, you never look at the budget or you ignore everything it says.
You are confuse about Social Security being welfare.
Social Security is a stupid program where the government forces you to put in 7.5% of your income up to a certain point and your employer matches it.
In return for that tremendous amount of money that a person puts in over their career they get a piddly ass pension, maybe, if they live.
Getting money back after you paid it in is not welfare you idiot.
Most people pay in a couple of hundred thousand in their career and their employer matches it and many of them never get the principal back, no less with interest. After all it is a Ponzi scheme.
There is a welfare element to Social Security if you are in the disability scam business.
I am retired but I am not getting SS yet. I would be glad to give up the claim on the money I paid in if the program would come to an end so it won't bankrupt my children. There is a $56 trillion liability to this program and we have no idea where the money is coming from because the Liberals have already spent the money that the people paid in to cover it.
The government screws up everything it touches and this silly idea of the government managing a retirement fund is no exception.
