National debt surpasses $31 trillion

Save that BS for somebody else, Trump was running up the Fed Deficit long before COVID hit the scene and you right wing, conservatives and republicans didn't say a damn word. Now that a Democrat is back in office you are winning about the deficit, again. Where was the Tea Party when Trump was in office? MIA.

Buuuulllllshiiiit!

Only one I've seen is Israel.

From what I've heard, maybe. Can't say I have any personal experience though.

I have to disagree on your premise. SS retirement is paid for by the recipients. Very few of which ever recoup what they have paid into the fund that the government chose to rob. SS disability---totally different story.

The Government certainly isn't giving that money back. Entitlement spending makes up almost half of Government spending.

Yes, but completely cutting all entitlement spending wouldn't help all that much unless the government retains payroll taxes used to fund most of that spending.
