And medicare? Healthcare costs is a bomb. They are passing it to the next generation via debt. Generational giving of debt should be criminal. The reality is we have been kicking the can down the road for years, and ‘prospering’ because we are helping to fund the economy with vast government spending.

“And medicare?”

I used to favor cuts in social programs, including Medicare. But then I was told it was ok to spend unlimited taxpayers dollars on wars and nation-building — including health care and social benefits — in Iraq, Afghanistan and other Middle East counties. In total, we’ve spent $12 trillion over there since Bush first launched our invasions and nation-buildings.

I no longer have a problem with spending money on American seniors and struggling middle and lower class Americans, since we are forced to pay health care, education, infrastructure and security in so many foreign countries.

If illegal aliens are getting free care, then seniors who worked their entire lives get their Medicare.
