"Your statement "not applicable here" is a policy decision, not an absolute fact." ....."The $16 Trillion is the number to use, even though it includes social payments, because it mostly is the difference between wage and non-wage income. SS is $902 billion, leaving nearly all of the $16 Trillion left."

Allow me to ask you an =honest question here:
"Have you bothered to look at the various components of the $16 trillion?
Can you tell us the various amounts that make up that $16 Trillion?"

$902 Billion is not very close to the income that comes from social payments!
