Social Security is not an Entitlement...as long as you think so, you are part of the problem.

I don't agree. As far as your explanation of why Medicare is so expensive......a bit simplistic, IMHO. We treat our senior citizens well. We give them good care on the average. We value life, so spend extraordinary amounts on end of life procedures...and we pay mightily through Medicare. It's just the way it is.

I'm realistic about where things are at this point in time.

A little side note - It would be nice if more FReepers would try to have discussions in a civil manner that doesn't resort to personal attacks or accusations. When you attack or accuse an individual, you are not dealing with the issue at hand, just merely trying to put the other person on the defensive.

HA!

Good luck on that.
