I am for cutting SS and medicare benefits to a level where what is going in equals what is going out. That means an immediate 30% cut in Social security and a 50% cut in medicare and that will push some people into and early grave.
The Book of Matthew warns of a time in which “the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.” Barbara Wagner received a letter from her Oregon death panel offering her drugs to end it all. They did not force her to take them. They wouldn’t do that. Not yet anyway.

I’m still waiting for the large senior population in Florida to wake up and realize Medicare will be cut billions of dollars and they will be expected to pay a substantial amount more from their fixed incomes for their health care.
Sen. Bill Nelson has pandered to the seniors down here and they have rewarded him with their allegiance.
Yesterday I sent a fax to Nelson telling him if he voted yes for cloture and/or voted yes when Reid’s bill comes up for a vote, I’d make it my goal in life to end his political career.
If I have to go door to door at every single retirement community down here to show seniors how their benefits are being slashed with Nelson’s approval, I’ll do it.
Palin will be at The Villages (a huge senior community)on Tuesday, I hope she lets the seniors who come out to see her know how Nelson has sold them out and how horrible this bill will be for them, their children and grandchildren.
The last time Palin was at The Villages she drew a crowd of 20 thousand. She is one of the best weapons we have to fight this health care boondoggle and to help end the political careers of those who vote for the bill. I pray she uses her influence to do both.
Frightening isn’t it? I never thought I’d see the day when people who believe people who fit into certain categories should be killed would have influence and decision making abilities.
Obama has surrounded himself with the absolute most radical far left inhuman monsters he could find. I swear this guy would give Mengele a czar position if he was still alive. As it stands now Obama has searched out and found Mengele’s ideological twins.
I really wonder when Dear leaders grandmother got sick did he tell her to hurry up and die since she was costing too much money?
c 1765, those who took positions as Stamp Act officials knew a little of the smell of bubbling tar.
You are correct. The process to do away with the “useless eaters” will be preceed by the words,”qulity of life and women’s reproductive rights”.Also they will use the terms,”medical research has discovered that......”. One example is that women do not need to get mamograms until they reach 50 years of age.
Truth is stranger than fiction, or even science fiction. It looks like we’re headed towards a societal combination of Logan’s Run (eliminating old people), 1984 (Big Brother), and of course, eventually....Soylent Green (lack of resources so government elites take the cheapest option possible in providing food for the poverty-stricken masses - recycled people).
All thanks to liberalism and the liberal idiots that promote it.
Thanks for your Freeper kindness. FU too.
I’ll be 64 in a couple of weeks.
When I was about 18 and people were talking about the baby boom and its economic consequences, I did the math and feared the same outcome.

Well at least you only get 30 years before you have to go Carousel.
Is Lamm dead yet? Why not? He’s 74, eating up a lot of wasted medical dollars!
“I swear this guy would give Mengele a czar position if he was still alive.”
Not only Mengele but Eichmann and Himmler as well.
We are witnessing evil up close for the first time in our nations history, no longer can we say America is immune from a fanatic tyranical government. I pray this country learns a painful lesson and never allows radical anti-American zealots gain power over us.
The baby boomers are what made possible the federal PONZI SCHEME which financed the social security and medicare/medicaid of the previous couple generations - of their parents & grandparents.
The generations after the Baby Boom aren't high enough in number to finance the same benefits.
In fact, I once heard somewhere, that the reason no one in Washington, D.C. was concerned about illegal aliens working in the USA was that they paid into the system, but NEVER received any social security or medicare as senior citizens - because they are NOT citizens. Inotherwords, LONG ago, the Baby Boomers couldn't finance these programs without massive help from illegals paying in.
I do not know what the projections are for say, 40-50 years from now when presumably the entire Baby Boom generation will be dead.
I also have no idea if in the years ahead MOST medical expenditures will be made for the last 18 months of life. Things can change fast, with medical research, there are advances every day.
I saw something interesting online last summer, but neglected to bookmark it. What it was, was some type of survey among medical doctors which found that something like over 85% of them NEVER went to the doctor for just about anything and that they NEVER had an annual physical exam.
I think I disagree with a system that encourages excessive use of prescription pharmaceutical drugs and makes money off of scare tactics urging people insist for tests they may not medically need.
I realize there are many sides to this debate; my own side is to simply avoid the doctor's office at all costs. LOL
So -— now that Lamm is 74, what does he say?
IMO they already have and will prove it by passing the health care bill and giving amnesty to illegals.
Huge medical advances are being made all the time -- just think of that recently posted article here at FR about the doctor who stated that if he can get to a patient within three hours of them having a stroke, he KNOWS that he can treat them in such a way that there is NO negative impact upon them from the stroke.
That would have been unheard of not too long ago.
Also, I suspect that once they figure out why so many people WORLDWIDE are obese and/or Type II Diabetic, that medical costs for everybody will plummet, BIG TIME.
