Reply #85: Entitlements

[ezmerelda39]

Social Security and Medicare are entitlements according to
Wikipedia.  According to their definition Congress itself
could be an entitlement program. Perhaps Congress would like
to change the law that insures their cost of living expenses
no matter what (Congress can change laws) while Social
Security did NOT have a cost of living raise for the first
time since its inception, a decision made by whom?  Congress.
Do you suppose any Congress person has trouble sleeping at
night after having made that decision?  Or for any of their
self interest decisions? Our Congress is like an enormous pack
of vultures circling over anything that is not tied down and
when the Financial Industry gets its hands on SS it is going
to be 5% of the people looking out on the remaining 95% of
unemployed, elderly and sick people, excluding whatever
percentage is utilized to fetch and carry for the top 5%.  Is
it possible for the 95% of unemployed, elderly and sick to
overturn the 5%.  The odds would be yes but first that 95%
needs motivation and anger and unification.
