Which social security program needs to be cut or reduced?

This system has become another welfare system. Was it suppose to be primarily a social insurance program providing social protection, or protection against socially recognized conditions, which includes poverty...don't we have welfare for this...why are we paying for this twice...through income tax and social security... old age..retirement pension disability...again why are we in the insurance business unemployment and others...why should we pay for unemployment to workers who never put anything in 1. Social Insurance...don't put in...don't get anything out...and legally in this country 2. Retirement Pensions...have to put in to get out...and legally in this country 3. Disability Insurance...has to be regulated...ADHD and behavioral and special education students should not be getting checks... 4. Survivor Benefits...they should only get if their husbands put in and legally in this country 5. Unemployment Insurance...should only get...if they have been paying in and legally in this country 6. Basic Necessities...we already have this service...with Welfare

1. Get rid of them all at the federal notice. Shrink the federal government back to what it's supposed to do: Uphold the constitution, defend our borders and coin our money/ Notice how the bigger the government is getting and the more entitlement programs it is creating, the more broke we are? Signed, The National Deficit and Unemployment
2. We pay into the system and it should be there for us if we need it. You have your trillion dollar wars and your 500 billion a year military.
3. If it was up to the Republicans, they'd cut them all off.
4. Repeal the farm bill to start.
5. easy one.just give it to those who are supposed to get it.thats a no brainer.dahhhhh.
6. All of it.
7. The key word in your question, is legally! Too many draw out of these social programs that never put a dime into it. IMO social security has ended up being a fraud, only to take money from hard working Americans. America's entitlement benefits has gotten out of line and that is the reason government takes more and more from the working class. If they pass this health insurance whack piece of garbage thru it will only end up being another social program we can't afford.
8. FDR actually stated that Social Security should "ultimately to be supplanted by self-supporting annuity plans."
