Simple observations about Social Security

Why do I keep hearing how the Social Security system is going to run out of money, and yet we never hear that the welfare or food stamp program is going to run out, and yet the first group paid into that system all their working years for their money?

Why no raises for our military veterans or active military and we keep cutting our military personnel levels, and no raises for our Social Security recipients, but we are not cutting off benefits and payments for illegal immigrants? We are advised not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatic individuals, and yet many judge all gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Just simple observations.
