Two biggest benefit Programs in trouble

[Dianah194]

Trustees for the government's two biggest benefit programs warned that Social Security and Medicare are facing "enormous challenges" with the threat to Medicare's solvency is much more severe.

The trustees, issuing their once-a-year ****ysis, said the resources in the Social Security trust fund will be depleted by 2041. The reserves in the Medicare trust fund that pays hospital benefits were projected to be wiped out by 2019.

2019 that's right at (11) yrs from now.

How is that even a possiblity if we the tax paying citizens of the US keep seeing social security and medicare tax deductions on our paychecks? You know without sounding uneducated or ignorant I just have to say if the Government would quit allowing NON- us residence into the US of A and giving them all of our hard earned benefits there would be no threat of solvency. What do you think?????
