Lest we not forget, as others have noted above, Social Security is not a complete gift from the Gov, but TAXPAYER FUNDED.  I think I remember a whole bunch of real SS funds being "borrowed" or "diverted" to the general budget  few years ago.  

For Pete's sake, get to know seniors who have worked their entire lives paying FICA, who have zealously saved their own money for retirement and yet NEED the return SS funds provide.  There are MILLIONS of us. 

Regarding Medicaid, spend one afternoon at a SNAP food bank or county ER department and then justify these wholly immoral and unnecessary cuts. 

Reality bites. 😁
