The huge entitlements (SS and Medicare)
have NOT been ADEQUATELY PAID FOR by the
current recipients when they were younger
workers.

Some "insurance policy"!
It was a fraudulent scheme to buy votes.
Actuarially unsound promises of benefits were
made, and the taxes were too low to support them.

Now, today's younger workers are paying extremely
high taxes to try to cover up the effects of
the fraud. In the long-run, even this will be
insufficient, and (effectively) today's younger
workers are being ripped off.

Warren Buffet, the hero of the left, is in the
insurance business. Do you think he would run
an "insurance company" in such a disgraceful
manner?
