Social Security, an entitlement?

Social Security being called an 'entitlement!'

Who is saying that, Democrats, most likely.

This stinks. I am getting Social security and paid the full amount each year of my career. I hear that the presidet wants to stop next month's checks due to the national debt crisis. Read on...

I thought I was the only one that was scratching my head over my Social Security being called an 'entitlement!'

I am entitled to it! I paid into it all my life. But to have it coupled in the same category with Welfare and other hand outs which are not earned by the recipients is insulting!

Entitlement?

You don't need guts to send this ... you just have to give a damn about 240 years of history and the blood, sweat, lives, tears, etc. That others before us went through to get us to today.

Entitlement my ass, I paid cash for my social security insurance! Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!

Congressional benefits, aka free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements!

What the HELL's wrong?

WAKE UP AMERICA!

Tuesday's Daily Bulletin paper, ran two articles on the front page side by side:

1. Calif 's 20 Billion Dollar Budget Deficit

2. The Calif Supreme Court ruling that ILLEGALS can attend college and get benefits. Why don't they just deport them when they arrive to register?

3. Last year they ran an article on the yearly costs to Calif Taxpayers from Illegals using Hospital Emergency Rooms for their general health care.

At just one hospital the cost to tax payers totaled over 25 million a year.

Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people that run this country!

We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.?

In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, Turkey, Japan. And now Pakistan .....home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and tons of food to Foreign Countries!

They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when its time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?

We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.

AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment, etc.

YET...

They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.

Imagine if our GOVERNMENT gave US the same support they give to other countries.

Sad isn't it?

99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.

I'm one of the 1%.

I Just Did

Note: This was passed along to TheRightJack. It is obvious that some of our seniors are a very disturbed that our Big US Gov can spend and spend on all sorts of needless projects but then turn right around and use the Debt Ceiling "faux crisis" as a way to pressure Republicans into going against the wishes of the US people. So ... Do not raise the debt ceiling. Cut spending, but not at the expense of seniors who have paid their way and soldiers who are paying with their lives.
