Social Security and Medicare are two of the most attacked programs in the governmental budget, never physically altered because senior benefits are the third-rail of the budget (Campbell 2003, p. 32-33). The third-rail is the electrified rail of train tracks, and if a politician attempts to change Social Security then they will lose support. Rather than changing the benefits, they simply refuse to…
