The "takers" are mostly those getting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid payments. Good luck "Makers" trying to see those cut.

I believe the Death Panels are the (unspoken) solution to the SS and Medicare funding problem.
Dropping life expectancy significantly makes a HUGE difference.

It has to stop. There is no money.

“Good luck “Makers” trying to see those cut.”

We can deal with our debt and entitlement programs sanely, rationally, or someday they will go to zero overnight.

That is a mathematical guarantee.

Machines already do most of the work. By 2050 robots are going to be everywhere. By 2080 most human labor will not be worth the ever rising minimum wage. Our main job as conservatives is keep socialism from getting ahead of the technology to fund it, like what happened to the socialist PIIGS: Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Spain. The second front in fighting socialism is advancing technology, mostly fought by conservative male engineers. Most technology is driven by the military’s need for better ways to kill really annoying people, then commercializing it so they don’t have to.
