The second thoughts among youth and 30-somethings will begin when the costs and fees and penalties and overall consumer prices of everything become so overpowering as to strangle them in place. When they can't change jobs or can't move to new houses/towns or can't buy the products they desire (either because the products aren't available or because they're way too expensive) or can't take the vacations they've taken in past years or give their kids piano/sports/dance lessons, then they will know they've been lied to and had.
But by then it may be too late. Hopefully their Nanas and parents will still be alive to teach them about the REAL, free United States of America.
I hope and pray my analysis is completely wrong!
Far cry from what started out as a "conservative forum".

It isn’t a coincidence, either, that the large majority of senior citizens are white.
I’ve jokingly said I’d be willing to miss the rapture just to see their faces. Jokingly, I said.
You have to figure nurses aides,nurses, and supervisors, 3 shifts. Then there is the kitchen staff, social workers (grief, spiritual, etc), pain management, pharmacy, administration, custodial, Medicare compliance record keepers, reimbursement personnel (Medicare and insurance), medical coders, accounts payable and receivable ... it all adds up, but 260 does still seem high.
We are all hostages.
I actually believe this has already started. My dad may have lung cancer. He's 84 and is very active. The docs have said they will not do any surgery at his age. He also has a knee problem--toally arthritic in his left knee. He had a right knee replacement more than 10 years ago. The docs say he's not a "good" candidate for a left knee replacement--so he's in pain most of the time.
