Have a Big Idea?

Congress should keep their hands off Social Security and medicare/medicaid.. Social Security is a forced saving account, which belongs to the individuals that have paid into it. There should be no cutting it, not privatizing or redistributing of these funds with out the vote of the American People. If anything, it should be expanded as a one source health program for all. It has worked quite well for many, many years. Why reinvent the wheel to cover our people with healthcare benefits. .
