Elvis is still the King: What facts you idiot? Of course, thinking Elvis is king, tells one what they want to know. Venezuela is a communist nation, who threatened Trumps life, and several members of congress. They have been training militants, and were caught at it. AntiFa was sending people there for training. Maybe, you ought to pay attention to what going on, instead of listening to a dead singer, who fell off the pot, dead, with a OD?

Ern Espar: Social Security, though a social program, isn't an entitlement such as, Medicaid, food stamps, and government housing, since one invests in Social Security as they work. It is a forced retirement program, and what you draw is based on what you paid in. Thus, a problem arises, when there's not enough employment, and the people can't pay into it. That started to happen when the US went from a productive society to a consumer society, by outsourcing employment to other countries. Also, Social Security has money in its trust, but it is in government bonds. Social Security could call those bonds in, from the government, with interest, and shore up the trust fund. Most every year, Social Security still takes in a surplus, but the government supposedly "borrows" the surplus to spend on other things, and issues bonds for the money. Then, congress, who spends the surplus on entitlements, tells everybody that Social Security is going broke. The left does it to raise taxes.

You actually pay for Medicare, parts A, B, and D. You can opt out, and receive your premiums, or you could could before Obamacare. I'm not sure that you can now. When Medicare was added, those already drawing SS obtained a raise, though it didn't show on the check, unless you opted out of the Medicare. However, I know of a retired store owner who did, in order to receive that insurance premium money, but now he wishes that he didn't, due to his health. It cost him more to become insured through other routes.
