The Federal government’s General Fund supports about 1000 federal agencies. Only Social Security and Medicare benefits are limited by tax collections. No other federal agencies are limited this way.
Why?

The military isn’t limited by tax collections. Payments for the Supreme Court aren’t limited by tax collections. Nor are payments for Congress, the White House, NASA, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA and the rest of the government.

Give me one good reason why Social Security and Medicare benefits are under constant pressure from those who quack about “sustainability,” “balanced approaches,” “fixes” and “reforms.”

Social Security and Medicare cannot run short of dollars unless Congress and the President will it. #PassItOn
