And then there’s the debt limit - they’re going to use the SS/Medicare/Medicaid as hostage to that - forcing changes in exchange for increasing the limits, or alternatively, using it to force lower tax rates.

Why is it precisely the programs people have paid-into that they focus on? What about the programs that are truly entitlements?

I know, it’s a political game. It’s all about votes.
