Sen. David Perdue has cited popular benefits programs as 'the drivers that are causing this debt.'

Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) said Tuesday that U.S. spending on Social Security, Medicare, and other entitlement programs are "not under control" and could lead to "a runaway debt crisis."

In an interview with a local radio network, Perdue seemed to suggest that cutting funding to the popular entitlement programs — which provide health insurance and benefits to American seniors — would help reduce the national debt.

"This is the huge one," Perdue said in the interview. "This is what I hope to get at in my second term. That is, Social Security and Medicare — the things that you've already alluded to — are what's causing the huge run-up."

Perdue added: "The thing that is not under control are mandatory expenses. This is Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, pensions and benefits for federal employees, and the interest on the debt. And if we don't get at those things, we will have a runaway debt crisis."

1. So the money contributed by employees...

...is taken to balance the budget whereas they were contributing to programs that benefit them in old age or if sustaining a disability.

Seems fair to me...
