"Bill McKee" wrote in message nk.net... wrote in message ups.com... Cut welfare programs. They make up nearly 55% of the federal budget. A grossly (and intentionally) inaccurate statement. **************** Actually, about 55-58% of the budget *is* entitlements. The payouts include social security, medicare, medicaid, veterans benefits, federal retirement, etc. I guess you could say that 50-some percent of the federal budget goes to "welfare" if you want to clasify virtually every retired person over 62-65 years of age in the US as a "welfare recipient". I'd guess a lot of folks bitching about 50-some percent of the budget going to "welfare" probably get some of that 50-some percent money every month, but would shoot the first person to accuse them of being on "welfare". Social Security comes out of the "SS Trust Fund", so is off budget?  Don't make me laugh. Off budget? |
