My disability payments from the army are "charity"?
@sneakypete Nope, As I have said in prior conversations with you, The VA, military pensions, and the full variety of federal employee pensions belong to the Fed.
My SS payments that I have paid in to ever since I was 17 are "charity"
No, that's a damn lie foisted upon me and you. And illegal, unconstitutional. It is outright thievery in a pyramid scheme that no other entity can use, BECAUSE it is thievery.
My social security and my disability, not being tied to government service, should have no business with the federal government. And neither should yours - That should be administered by the state, or by private investment.
When a full HALF of this government, that spends MORE than we make, is entitlements, you need look no further to see the corruption it has wrought - I read somewhere, many years ago, that on average, there are four people administrating for every client. Four people being paid way better than you ever were, with full bennies and health care, just to produce your entitlement check.
That is simply absurd. And the reason that can happen is because it is 'governed' off the books, beyond the reach of Congress, with automatic union driven pay. And no one ever does a damn thing BECAUSE it exists 2000 miles away. No Montana governor could survive such a ludicrous bill.
Believe me, return it to the states and it will quickly come in line, and with it, the cost of all medical services, the cost of medical machinery, the cost of the whole medical sector will collapse. Because it is the welfare system that is propping it up.
That's savings in megabucks, and with little difference to the people who actually deserve the help/ retirement...
