Al, > But you do agree that we need to care for our elders through SS and to provide health care for them, yes? Not really. First of all, Social Security was never meant to be a primary source of income for retirees, but that's the way it's being considered these days. Supplemental income for those who need it I'm OK with, but taxpayers shouldn't be forced to pay for all of the living expenses. If that isn't enough for some retirees, let them find assistance from family members or other government programs. Secondly, health care is going to be one huge boondoggle. Like I said, I'm still on the fence regarding universal health care, but the way the system is set up right now isn't going to be sustainable. Lastly, I'm really against "cradle-to-grave" government policies that takes power away from the productive generations and hands it to the needy. Let people plan for their own retirement. S--t happens, and government should provide a safety net, but too many people are comfortable resting on that net, and it's about to break. Tenchusatsu
