Nascarnation:
You are correct. Medicare and SS will destroy the US economy as it is doing in other similar graying countries. So, it was inevitable that this was going to happen.
The problem was Democratic initiatives: Social Security and Medicare.
But all the Dems want to do is take it away from the elderly and give it to illegal immigrants, non-working minorities and labor unions. THAT is why is will cost over $1 trillion!!!!!
...it is war...it is the war of the Democrats against the Baby Boom...who have paid into and now are poised to reap the benefits of Social Security and Medicare...it is the war of those who created these fraudulent programs ...which have fleeced 45 years of taxes from the Baby Boom..and never intended to grant them the benefits they were conned into allowing to be withheld from their paychecks. It is a personal war...because by hastening them to their graves...they intend to fleece their descendants of their estates.
HEADS UP!!! This Robert Reich story coming up soon on Hannity!
