General Discussion

That is the biggest g.d. lie the media keep repeating. No federal government program can go "broke." The reason has to do with the simple fact the government can print its own money. The federal government cannot "go broke." Besides, any supposed "shortfall" can be paid out of the general fund, just as SSI is funded.

The right-wing attacks on Social Security and Medicare have nothing to do with "insolvency." It is motivated by not wanting to pay the FICA and Medicare taxes on the part of corporations.

In other words, it is all about greed.
