But that isn’t going to happen without blood in the streets. The only way for it to happen is for the older generation and the sick and weak to die out with a quickness.

If the people who depend on SS and Medicare are all old, weak and sick, how are they capable of producing blood on the streets?

SS and Medicare are unfunded liabilities.

No they are not! They can be modified by Congress at any time without producing an event of dafault.

Either way it now requires borrowing money from other countries to fund them.

But we don't have to fund them! Congress is perfectly free to reduce the payouts.

We can’t pay back what we owe. All we pay is the interest on our debt, nothing more.
