It is totally hypocritical to bitch about socialized medicine by complaining that it is harming socialized medicine.
That the total CUTS to Medicare over 20 years is $815 TRILLION.
Just where did you think that $815 trillion was going to come from unless it was taxing "somebody else"? I'll bet you think taxes are too high too. Well, where else is the money going to come from? Borrowing? What would that do to the deficit? Did seniors save that much? Is it in the bank? From whom do you think we should get the money?
So which party is throwing granny and gramps under the bus? It's the DEMOCRATS, not the Republicans!
Looks to me like seniors are throwing their grandchildren under the bus and they'll switch parties if they don't get the government to take the goodies for them. After all, a sack of empty promises has worked just fine so far, hasn't it?
This kind of care is unaffordable in the amounts that people desire. That's reality.
IIRC, it is Holdren who has spoken of recycling prostheses and liquifying dead people into some kind of green stuff to shoot into space or some weird thing (to save space). He also wants depopulation.
The herd (in the US) is being culled. The rest of the world, I dunno.
You kind of miss the point, you use the ammo that the enemy (socialist, marxist and commies) gives you against them. in order to oust them and then you can do reforms. Reforms won’t happen IF you can’t get conservatives elected to do them.
We tax payers have paid into the Medicare system for years, and those on it pay a premium monthly for the insurance. IF the gov’t had NOT been allowed to raid them Medicare and SS both would be solvent today.
Medicare and SS need reforming, there is no doubt about that. BUT you can’t reform them IF you can’t get the right conservatives elected.
And you can’t throw a 70-100 year old under the bus regardless of what party you are. They must be protected just as much as the unborn should be.
