Yes, that is precisely what I am advocating.

I am a young worker with decades to go until
I hit retirement. The entitlement programs
will not be there when I retire. If you accept
that as a given, it is better that these
entitlement programs collapse AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
in order to minimize the amount of money that my
generation has to pay into them.

The worst-case scenario would be for me to
keep paying higher and higher taxes into these
programs for decades only to have them collapse
anyway right before I'm supposed to get benefits.

Well, if my generation is going to be left
"holding the bag", then let's FORCE THE ISSUE
RIGHT HERE AND NOW!
