What Should be done about entitlement programs?

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

Drastic expansion should be done.

Retirement at 55.
Full pension for all (equal regardless of income)
Full socialized medicine
Make social security and medical tax progressive without a 'cutoff'.
$15/hour minimum wage
20 hour/week work week
12 weeks per year mandated holiday time
2 years primary childcare leave, paid, mandated, 6 months for assisting partner
full dole - food stamps, free rent, spending money

Yep make everything free and easy for the people while a free ride through life is paid for by a few. We'll all get along, no one will have to work, we'll all have plenty of money, we can trust our politicians to be dependent on the government when it comes to deciding who does and doesn't get treatment, play video games, get high, and sing kumbiah. Folks this is the mentality we're dealing with from the left. I take it that most posters here know better to know the effects of such policies so I won't even take the time to explain the effects of higher wages leading to higher prices and a lessened value of the dollar.

Please, please, please don't use opebo as a poster boy for the entire left.
