freepers are so daft as a rule...God love them
do most even know the ages of the folks who really voted in the entitlements in the 1960s in Congress?
a fair amount were actually born in the very late 1800s or pre WWI and many were pre WWII generation...possibly a majority
there is blame to spread everywhere to be honest
what we have now are the first coming on line who actually have paid Medicare premiums their whole life and would-should-could get the benefit of that
one stat that the yutes here never like to self examine is that that under 35 kids today are markedly even more liberal than the same group in that detested hippie era
anyone can look up voting by age in 1972 and compare to 2008
that bodes even worse down the road
any generation tends to get more conservative with age overall..we can cross out fingers
I made an accurate statement, that many early Baby Boomers are now starting to take out many times what they put into Medicare—and you tried to correct me by saying that that was false.
Here is a document which shows the average Medicare recipient who turned 65 in 2010 taking out more than 3X what they put into the system:
