It's a perfect government-created dependency. We want to get SOMETHING, ANYTHING!!! for all the damn money we've had to sink into the Federal government against our will. GEEZ!Exactly.Also, liberals claim that S.S. and Medicare are very "popular."Okay, let's make them 100% voluntary and see how many younger Americans opt out.So much for the lie that they're popular.
