10:59,
Really? You mean to say in the face of the worst recession most of us have seen, with 9%+ unemployment, you really think these people are just lazy? Someone has listened to waaaayyyy too much Rush.
If your Democratic your lazy plain and simple you love entitlements I say do away social security and medicare ,let die in the streets.
Life would be so dull without the occasional folly from envirnmental zealots...
Uh, most entitlement money is going to older whites, a demographic that largely votes conservative, in the form of medicare and ss.
I take exception to anyone who thinks that social security is an entitlement. If the democrats hadn't stolen the money during the LBJ administration, there would be more than enough money to go to the people that contributed to the fund all their working life.
1:23, how about you look up the facts before spouting. Both parties have dipped at one time or another.
SS is an entitlement because you take out far more than you ever paid in and the rate you paid was far lower than workers today pay.
