Seems like you have an answer for everything Z.

Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security take up more than half of the federal budget. Federal spending is now well above 25% of the GDP.

You want to pretend that we can continue printing money and supporting the growth of entitlements, all while the Baby Boomers retire. Even the fact that SS is now in the red (four years earlier than projected) doesn't concern you, as long as you have a political talking point to bring up.

If you want to transform our economy to that of some Eurosocialist state, be my guest. Just don't pretend that you can have your cake and eat it too. Even Europe can't do that.
