[Choose Ye This Day]

Do any of the three candidates, I wonder, have a plan to deal with the crushing insolvency of Social Security and (especially) Medicare, and how those two welfare programs are going to devour our federal budget over the next twenty years?

Nah. I didn’t think so.

That, to me, is the main economic problem facing this nation, and Washington insiders will keep doing what they’ve been doing for years: kick the can down the road. Let our children and our grandchildren worry about it and pay for it.

Inflation? Raise interest rates. Done.

Killing off the entitlement beast? No politician has the guts to take on that REAL problem.

No... But they all have plans to destroy the economy so badly that fixing Medicare and Social Security will be secondary and tertiary to being able to eat and stay warm.
