send us your tweets at c c-span wj. on the line for republicans. caller: good morning. i'm 52 years old. i've been paying into social security since i was 14. i've been an independent contractor most of the time. i believe the problem with social security is that people are getting a lot more than they paid in. it's like trying to nail jel low to a tree. start out by making it optional. let's pay everybody back what they paid in and kill the system and let people keep the money and invest it for themselves. it's going to work out a lot better. host: thank you. john trying to nail jell-o to a tree. >> medicare claims show greater cost and risk seen in mainly small hospitals about the overuse of ct scans. host: illinois on the line for independents. caller: hello. thank you for taking my call i believe the social security system is unconstitutional. i believe you should only get what you pay in in one lump sum. by the time you are old enough to take care of your money, you can invest it the way you need or want people aren't getting more than what we paid in i don't think

at others. i do not think any of us have a facebook page or tweet, whatever that is. tetralogy is making inroads. when we travel, it is easier to have some of us briefed on some of the products where you can have them electronically available and carry them around. different people have different comfort levels. in the courts in general, i think it is a challenge in a lot of areas and it is just something that we will have to deal with it is not limited to that. the impact of the new technology on subject of law it is really quite significant. whether what does it mean in antitrust law to have technology gateways that are different than what we are used to, but that, too, is nothing. wehink of the supreme court's dealing with the wiretap cases when they were a new thing. of course that is not covered by the fourth amendment. it reversed itself. will be a great challenge in a substantive area and for many of us to try and keep up with technology. it is one of the great things. they come in and they know how all this stuff means. they are a resource for educating ose of
