I'm trying (once again) to follow why anyone would dwell on these peripheral programs when it comes to SS. Its obvious SS is eating up way too much of any federal spending and the lions share of the $$ are the core beneficiaries... don't you agree? Cut waste if you want, and all these peripheral programs but that is small potatoes. I can't understand why the retirement age isn't raised to 72 immediately, can you? This is a real crisis for the young - the current recipients hardly paid anything - is it too much to ask for just a little honest leadership from Washington?
