Z, > They're paid for by a dedicated tax.

So you believe in the SS trust fund myth.

By the way, that "dedicated tax" is very regressive, yet it makes up for more than half of federal tax revenues.

Either way, SS and Medicare expenditures are growing beyond tax revenues. This has been forseen for decades now, so you can't use the economy as an excuse.

Can't address the deficit without tackling those two programs. Can't address those two programs without people like you accusing reformers of wanting to starve seniors and deny them their health care.
