Why even the strongest Republican efforts can’t defeat the welfare state

You know…it pisses me the fuck off when they talk about “the welfare state” and the first thing they discuss is Social Security. Social Security is NOT a welfare program. You pay into it, and you are supposed to receive benefits based upon your payments. That is not WELFARE. That is an INSURANCE program. But the problem is that politicians, not the regulated insurance industry, are running it. As a result, there is NO regulation, and we get screwed. Now, I’m not a big fan of insurance companies, but if they ran Social Security the way the government does, they would go out of business.
Maybe the government shouldn’t be running Social Security at all?
