Thanks for the truth. I agree 100% regarding SS and Medicare being welfare. Entitlement mindset is 85% entrenched in even the republican party. I quit discussing SS years ago on FR because most can’t connect it with a wealth transfer scheme that it is. My kids future shouldn’t be borrowed against. I don’t know if the VAT is a good idea but your opinion has value with me. Thanks and keep speaking the truth!

Thanks, it’s a rare comment on this subject. But we should keep it up. People need to understand that this is no longer their money, or ‘government money’, it is money from today’s and tomorrow’s workers.
As someone pointed out, support for euthanasia has now resulted from this. Look at Japan, just yesterday, their VICE PRESIDENT told old people to “Get out of the way and die”. He’s a bit more blunt than the Europeans, especially the British, that use the pleasant term “pathways” for executing their old people. These countries have done the math and realize that there is not even enough money for old people to steal from their grandchildren anymore - so now they must die.
I don’t want to get there...which is why I want to either finance this crap TODAY, or reform it (aka, welfare).
