To me, it means many of the elderly did not save enough and spent too much (how very American!) and now want someone else to pay. Seems wrong to me. SS was a huge wealth transfer (and returns for new retirees are now dropping dramatically) and this new prescription plan is another huge transfer. It will never stop until younger folks vote. The problem is that the older folks vote and hence politicians listen more to them.
