Let's TALK !!! ENTITLEMENTS !!!!!

Well, pull up a chair...sit down....and let's talk!!!

FIRST UP: Social Security



1. Raise the beginning eligibility age to 68....same for Medicare coverage.....for all persons who are now 50 or younger.
Make it 70 for those 40 or younger. Take away the upper limit payroll deduction restrictions for Social Security contributions.

2. Setup Social Security contributions to go into privately/personally-held funds which are restricted until eligible for withdraw.

3. Make it "means test" sensitive. That is, benefits are able to be received based on an income/asset qualification until reaching age 75....at which time, then all funds become available.






NEXT: Medicaid/Food Stamps and similar "welfare programs" such as Unemployment benefits



1. Make ALL these programs time-limited for specific periods of time only! Make all programs also subject to co-pays AND based on a "means test".



2. Make all programs subject to proper verification and monitoring by case workers (hire more case workers if needed). Include periodic testing of the "means" test as well as honest participation in self-help (work-seek, rehab) efforts. Include drug testing as necessary.


NOW WAS IT REALLY THAT BAD...OR UNFAIR??

DIDN'T TAKE LONG EITHER, HUH??
