Dan, I think your response, to use your words, is "stupid", just saying...
These folks you refer to as "worthless" include people like a man, or woman, with three kids and a mortgage who lost their job and ran out of unemployment. Or, same folks, where the bread winner suddenly came down with a life threatening illness and insurance refused to cover it. Your use of the word "worthless" in describing these folks has been used repeatedly. Your position is clear, you could care less, don't want a discussion, just need a soap box.
Jamo's Social Security points:
I find #4 particularly troubling. As I recall the SS fund had grown SO large it was assumed there would easily be enough for that "rainy day" in the future. THAT was a huge mistake!
Giving SS to immigrants at age 65 is another HUGE mistake. Mexico has a similiar problem by providing it's National Health Care insurance to ANY resident of Mexico. Like Americans who move there and never paid a dime into the system and yet reap it's rewards.
The other points I don't really have a problem with. Times change, the program was modified along the way accordingly. I think it is miss leading to characterize it solely as a Democrat responsibility. Many of these items had substantial Republican support as well.
