Is The World Getting Better Or Worse?

You do not speak for "Christians"; only at most one Chapter of Club Christian; and unfortunately all of the evidence shows you are simply wrong.Lifespans are improving, violence is at an all time low, society in general is becoming more tolerant and the major blight on the horizon is the total disconnect from reality among fundamentalist religions.

More simply unsupported assertion Faith. Do you have any evidence to support that nonsense?It can't be Social Security since it is impossible for it to contribute to the deficit.

---

By law, Social Security cannot contribute to the federal deficit, because it is required to pay benefits only from its trust funds. Those, in turn, are funded through a dedicated payroll tax of 12.4 percent of income, split evenly between employees and employers, levied on income (this year) up to $128,400.

​

The program’s revenue and expenses are accounted for through two federal trust funds that have operated with large and growing surpluses in recent years, and they finished fiscal 2018 with an estimated $2.89 trillion. By law, Social Security must invest these surplus funds only in special-issue U.S. Treasury notes, which have the same full faith and credit guarantee as any other federal bond.

---

Treasury attributed the increase to the tax cuts contained in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), higher spending and rising interest payments.

SourceThat's the US Treasury analysis, which I believe is part of the Executive Branch of Government.Note the deficit is far higher than it was just six years ago. Remind me who was President six years ago?

Social Security cannot have anything to do with the deficit. By law Social Security can only disburse money from the Trust Funds.see Message 736.The idea that Social Security adds to the deficit is just another Republican Porky.Edited by jar, : fix link

So name the entitlements.

Classic.Of course they don't name the entitlements because they know that they don't exist and that their audience has been taught to accept TESTIMONY without question or thought.
