Fact based? I guess it works for you that the Pirate presented zip, no
facts. Fact is the Pirate is mostly ignorant of even how Tricare
works.

David, David, David. The OP said that Social Security is bankrupt, in
the red, giving out more than it has coming in. That is FACT BASED.
What more do you want? You're the one that brought up Tricare, not me.
Tricare is also broke, as is all the healthcare goodies the government
has touched. You've admitted it yourself.

Of course Tricare is not the same as Medicare. You can call it
whatever the hell you want, but it was promised to me in 1956 and was
one of the reasons I shipped over (the first reason was my love for the
work I was doing, but I doubt any libs or progressives could understand
that). Just think; someone in the military actually loving the work
they do. I never used Tricare or Medicare when I retired because I was
covered under my civilian jobs. Ditto when I retired from industry
because I was covered under Joanne's insurance. I want nothing from my
government except that which I earned and was promised. Period.

Get off your high moral horse and admit that Social Security is in the
red (THE OP).
