Government entitlements
To the Editor:
Social Security is a fully funded benefit, run by the government. That is why the ill-informed can technically call Social Security an entitlement. We receive 2 percent more in our paycheck because the president, through Congress, reduced the Social Security tax by 2 percent.
While the intent is good, the reduction is not funded. It adds to the problem by shorting the fund by billions.
