Wow so you want take out your envy on the old and the poor.
Reread my post. They should be last in line... after real waste is cut. If you can't find any waste in the current government programs, we don't have much to talk about.
But, I gotta say, if the actuaries are correct, and Medicare is really something like 40 Trillion in the whole in terms of the present value of promised benefits, and Medicare even more, something's gotta give. I'd prefer that whatever happened didn't also involve the complete destruction of all private wealth, but maybe you feel otherwise.
