You can start by recognizing that there is no chance of any program getting abolished, except maybe Obamacare prior to it starting up in full. People will fight to the death for their precious entitlement programs.
But people are just as willing to fight to the death for other people's precious unsustainble tax levels. We're drowing in Ronald Reagan and W's red ink.
Which goes back to what wormyguy was saying. The country is a train that's about to derail & nobody in office is willing to fix what is wrong. We'll be seeing progressively more of this insanity until the government finally goes bankrupt & the United States becomes a third-world country. By then it will be too late.
And getting rid of medical coverage for seniors and sending a good number of them into poverty will save this country?
I'd really like to hear how you or any of the other libertarians here suggest what should happen to these people without SS or Medicare.
Real, practical, and plausible explanations. None of this "things will be all peachy keen and apple pie as long as the rich pay no taxes!"
