Props to your Mom. My Nana was a beneficiary. The program does so much to help our seniors and it’s such a small percentage of our overall budget. When we talked about it at dinner, my mom was making the argument that it could be even better than it already is.

(Reposted from previous thread) Balancing the US Federal budget is actually very simple. There are only four things to consider:

1) Defense
2) Medicare
3) Social Security
4) Taxes

Everything else is in the noise in terms of fraction of the budget.
