I don’t disagree. What I’m saying is all those liberals will be very upset when it’s their relatives being sent home to die without enough pain killers.

I know of a woman who was sent home to die. All she could “eat” was ice chips. It took her a month to die and she was in pain the whole time.

Well, I don't want anyone to suffer a painful death, but I do think that a lot of senior deaths could be a lot less expensive if doctors just backed off. There is no need to delay for years the inevitable. We are all going to die. Fifty years from now, what difference will it make if Joe dies now at age 68 or in five years at age 73? In the vast majority (99.9%) of cases, it will make no difference. Joe will be gone and usually forgotten either way.

What will make a difference in 50 years is if people then are forced to pay higher taxes so that we can give Joe 5 more meaningless years now.

How can we possibly justify spending our grandchildren's money to pointlessly extend meaningless lives? Let them go. Death is natural.

If we quit wasting money trying to pointlessly extend meaningless lives, we won't have any debt problems. And, that is the only real solution to the budget mess we're in.
