I think we found where the cuts should be made!

Entitlements?

I PAID cash for my Social Security insurance. Our benefits are not some kind of charity or handout!

Congressional benefits—premium federal health care, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days— now THAT’S welfare!

And, they have the nerve to call my retirement an entitlement! Take Social Security out of the Budget so Soc Sec money cannot be spent on other items. Stop spending my retirement money. You would be sent to jail if this were a retirement Insurance agency.

I am sick of this crap!
