Another Spending Cut Plan –  Some more excellent common sense advice from Thomas Sowell. He echoes one of my big problems with Social Security.  If it’s such a great deal for people, why does the government have to literally put a gun to everyone’s head to force them to pay into it.

Instead of attacking these programs as a whole, what is far more vulnerable is the compulsory aspect of these programs. If Medicare is so great, why is it necessary for the government to force people to be covered by Medicare as a precondition for receiving the money they paid into Social Security?
