Well lets see what it takes for the populace to get upset and actually do anything.
We have rolled over countless times for so many other things what exactly is the tipping point to see mass protests and such?
Just yesterday I saw a post on the Market Ticker laying out what will be a defining moment, that is when Health Care costs finally swallow the Federal Budget and something will have to be done and that is not that far off, maybe in 5 or 6 years.
Right now two months into the 2019 fiscal year we have already spent about $95 Billion more than we took in in Medicare Taxes to fund Medicare and Medicaid and Health Care costs are already over 1/3 of the Budget. And yet we have the new idiots in Congress who think we can have a Single Payor System, i.e., Medicare for all and no way to pay for it no matter what.
This is one of the things we all should be Protesting and yet no one cares, but they will when those Cuts come to that program and the rest, and all the Services for Free folks get cutoff.
its all the unfunded liabilities that will crash it.
Medicad/Medicare
Section 8
Food stamps
SSDI
SSI
Interest on the debt
this is all going to come crashing down in the next 5-15 years and there is nothing being done to stop it.
Two months???
Oh: FISCAL year.
Surely there is more than 5 BILLION worth of waste/inefficiency can be pared from Medi____ to fund the WALL.
Having it in place should reduce the MEDI____ costs by MORE than 5 B!
