These programs are the result of compromises. One side says the programs aren't generous enough, the other says benefits go to people who don't deserve them.

The compromise between those two ideas is what we have today.

Unfortunately it’s a terrible and unintelligent compromise that is worse than many possible other compromises. It’s almost intentionally dysfunctional.
