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.

Life is not fair, will never be fair, can never be fair. Some win, some lose, some suffer, its called reality. IT CANNOT BE CHANGED. IT CAN BE WISHED FOR AT A MASSIVE AND WASTED.
EXPENSE. It cannot be changed.
Should everyone that wants a Cobra get one from the Gov't.?
Again TEMPORARY help should be the job of churches and charities. They are thrilled to do it.
Unemployment comp. as long as it was contributory while working, I have no problem with. Then they can go do menial jobs after it runs out. Solving the illegal alien problem.
Soc. Sec. paid out to those that paid in to it the minimum or more years, commensurate with the amount they paid in, OK.
And I did not say Democrats, I said liberals. Both parties have liberals. And both have fiscal idiots. And both have stupid social dreamers. And thus, $12 Trillion already flushed, and another $100 trillion plus presently scheduled to be flushed down the same crap-hole.
The dreams and compassion are beautiful, but actually impossible. $12 Trillion already spent that WE DID NOT HAVE, should be all the proof needed to realize that social giveaway programs cannot be realistically funded. They stop OR eventually the US of A stops. Both cannot be sustained.
