For every government dollar that goes to kids under 16 there are 6 dollars that go towards seniors over 65. Heard it once. People over 65 are doing pretty well and they vote.
I hope none of the $6 to seniors includes Social Security. That was money paid into the ponzi system by those seniors collecting those funds. Now Medicare is a really good deal for seniors and was put in place because private insurance companies made cost prohibitive to obtain medical, dental, and vision insurance for those who needed it the most.
