a fellow at work commented that they take Social Security taxes out of his paycheck, and he pays Medicare twice - once from his paycheck, and out of pocket monthly payments.

I do not have a succinct definition for it, but we all know it is the study of resources and how they effect society. Our national debt is one resource that is in the public eye because there is so much of it and controversy. Like the laws of the United States of America, there is not a definitive book or source of information about it. You know it is there and some have an idea of how much it is and how it accumulates, but just how much it is and who it is owed to is ambiguous.
