[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm unclear how its an "entitlement" when I've been paying into it (SS and Medicare) for 25 years.  Sure let's slash it - but I better get back every penny I put in so I can invest it.[/quote]

And this is why our budget is in such trouble. "Slash it, but give me mine."' Are you by any chance a Trump supporter?[/quote]

nope.  you don't want the money you put in?  Interesting.

besides I was being sarcastic by saying "slash it".   It would piss me off to have those programs go away as I am approaching retirement when I've put in money for my whole career.[/quote]

Of course I'd like the money I put in. I never said I didn't want it. I'm a liberal dem, and while I won't need the money (lots of savings, traditional pension, and inheritance), it would be nice to have. I want it to be there for people whose employers never offered them a 401(k). Also the Social Security benefit is progressive, and I totally support that.[/quote]

This is PP and I will need it.  So yes it will hurt a lot if its not there. I have some savings but I really will need SS as well.[/quote]
