@pbsnews: Examining the divide between Harris and Trump on Social Security and Medicare spending In the final days of this election, both presidential candidates are trying to win over older voters with their plans for entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare. Social Security is at risk of being depleted as soon as 2034 and Medicare could be insolvent by 2036. Lisa Desjardins has a look at how both campaigns say they'll tackle the issue. #medicare #socialsecurity #presidentialcandidates #presidentialelection #presidentialelection2024 #donaldtrump #trump #election2024 #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour
I love it when they call programs you pay into for your whole life "entitlement" programs. Like, seriously, can we just raise the income cap so millionaires actually pay into the system...

Medicare is NOT an entitlement! We paid into this guaranteed retirement program out entire working career. Government has stolen millions from Medicare funds.

I don't know how this is hard??? it's a simple fix you raise FICA taxes so that you have to pay them until you make over 1 million a year... boom problem solved. currently it stops at $189,000 a year

the government should end SS, provide contributors tax credits for the next 10 years, and then let us save our own money. SS pays you 15k to 30k a year. That's literally never going to support a senior citizen annually.

1- Entitlement program means you’re entitled to it, inderstand? 2- Shift the tax burden to the richest Americans because they have all the money and we pay proportionally more to our income. Simple.

She wants more people living off of the government so she can control them. Maybe make stricter qualifications to receive HUD, Food Stamps, and Medicaid. That would free up a ton of money first of all
