Well, all I can say is that not only do you fail to see the problem, you are a major part of it!
Yes, we did pay for Medicare and Social Security... but as you well know, it was way less than what it takes to get by today. Call it way you may, but it was and does not provide the benefits that we take.
Chronically ill should have help if needed - not a problem. It is the rest of us that use benefits that cost the government millions that I despise.
Yes, you are the ideal candidate that thinks that your grand children should take care of you in your old age. You sir, are a selfish bastard (speaking carefully). Yes, I have sent my child to Iraq (Marine) with pride and do NOT think that I deserve anything extra for that.
It’s no wonder we are in such a dastardly shape with people that think like you do... We and the future are doomed.
I have no hope for my son, much less for my grandchildren.
PS: Your attitude disgusts me!
That is a reasonable response.
I commend you for giving up all your Veteran benefits.
