She really doesn't understand why people in this country are so resistant to that idea.

Fear of the unknown, perhaps. Inertia, perhaps. Or perhaps that collectivism isn't prominent in our national culture.

For me it's the model. I simply can't find any reasonable assurance that the model would be sustainable over time. It's a lifeboat drill writ large. I see a shrinking fully-loaded lifeboat with still-increasing load. Neither leaving people in the water, which we have now, nor sinking the boat, which seems to me is the inevitable result of what is proposed, is a good solution. We need a solution that rationalizes the relationship between the load and the size of the boat.
