I have enough faith in the nihilism and moral failure of this country to recognize this.
“It will be a simple matter. Social Security and Medicare will be saved from insolvency through a well-orchestrated national policy of euthanizing the elderly. “
A nice start would be to get the millions of illegal and welfare children off of SSI.
Way too complex, Alberta.
The new Hispanic, Black, and Asian majority will just stop paying their taxes.
Killing us would require real jobs and real work.
Every man for himself.
If you are white and elderly, you will need a large extended family, and a lot of ammunition, to survive the 2030’s.
Beyond cynical
No doubt you listen to Beck a lit
There never was a "lock box" - the programs were always pay as you go pyramids, with each generation of workers paying for their parents' and grandparents' benefits.
Worked a treat when there were ten pulling the wagon for every rider, not so well with two or three.
Personally I do not think euthanasia will be the solution, I'm leaning to this:
Yes, where the healthcare money goes, and doesn’t go is very political. It will become even more political.
Currently Transgenders have an extremely high rate of HIV and other diseases due to weak immune system. Their medicines are extremely expensive.
Currently SSI disability is the fastest growing entitlement as they draw from both Social Security and Medicaid big time.
In contrast mothers and babies on Medicaid consume a miniscule amount of tax money in comparison. But most people think the opposite.
As long as people are ignorant of the facts, money for mothers and babies will continue to get a smaller piece of the pie. That will encourage more abortions and long range a declining population solve only by more immigration.
Politics has another aspect...short term entitlements vs long term dependency. Some people see welfare as a temporary program to help people thru a rough spot in their lives, or in the economy.
Others see welfare as a permanent solution. They really want a government single-payer permanent program.
Two different paradigms. Supporters of each paradigm will try to sell their view of the world. who is the better sales team wins. So far, the left has had the better sales team.
The left does not have the best sales pitch. But the left does one thing the right does not do. The left takes their sales campaign to the unbelievers and converts them.
The right hides in the choir and does not try to reach out to the undecided. Look here on FR. Many posts on many threads raise the white flag and say... We cannot convert the unbelievers. Its no use. Why try.
Isn’t that the mission of Obamacare?
I don’t think Trump would do that.
