>> t's almost 100 years ago...why is that relevant today.

It is relevant because the American People were told that's how these programs would be paid for. Since SS was enacted, it has been nothing but a string of massive tax increases which don't even come CLOSE to paying for them.

The tax rates have gotten so high that now you want to start taking money from general revenues to transfer the liabilities to people other than those against whom the tax was originally to be levied.

Yet, you still don't admit the programs are failures, and two years ago, Obamacare, the final straw, was enacted to make MC totally unworkable from a fiscal standpoint.

You and others on the left are just blind to the disaster you've created. Why can't you just look at the numbers like the rest of us?
