I don’t think Hitler is the only one who has arrived at that argument. Pretty much every other nation in the world today has either had to make that decision or face inevitable collapse. If we want to have our federal gov’t in charge of ensuring that everyone can live to be 95 or older, whether they can afford it or not, and be providing Medicare even to Senior Citizens who can afford it, or who have relatives who can afford it, we will lose much of our military’s ability to combat enemies at home and overseas. And if we still want be able to police the world and give out Medicare on demand, well forget about it. That is not going to happen. If we want all of our elderly to have access to Medicare, it is becoming clearly that it will come at a cost of us losing any status we had as a world superpower. And we will certainly not be able to afford to undertake all of the military operations that some conservatives want us to do. This is reality. Unicorns, fairies, elves and magic don’t actually exist and we as a nation will not be able to do everything.

You must have some old parents somewhere that you are building up the nerve to off. Go ahead ad do your part and get them off the dole.
