Very interesting AP poll from mid-January: good majorities of Americans want MORE Soc Sec, Medicare and spending for the poor in the US

How do you insert a simple .jpg image here?

Over 60% think more Soc Sec and Medicare should be given to people. What is funny is a lot of people call this govt spending but the Soc Sec and Medicare money comes from the people and their employers. I know some budget people lump it all in for the US Budget but should it really be.

And **** those Repubs that want to cut or eliminate these plans that are paid for by the people. I would hope Rick Scott would then be poor and sleep in the streets pissing himself. I do not have time or anything for a fraud and thief like him trying to screw people out of their money they are entitled to.

Where US adults think the government is spending too much, according to AP-NORC polling

Many U.S. adults believe the federal government is overspending. But polling also shows many Americans, including Republicans, think the country is spending too little on major government programs like Social Security.

What’s really funny is that they needed to take trillions more in taxes than they already have to fund future benefits at the current level.

The Ponzi is already upside down, ‘beneficiaries’ born after 1975 are facing negative returns at current tax and benefit schedules.
