>> It raises revenue and/or cuts benefits...among other things. Social programs are debts to one self.

It cuts benefits? As Bernie Sanders is running around saying, "Let's raise SS benefits?"

You cannot raise enough taxes to deal with this problems. Simply cannot be done. You're talking about on the order of $100 Trillion to cover SS, Medicare, and other liabilities. Meanwhile, fewer people are working than in the last 40 years, and that picture is NOT going to get any better.

Social programs ARE debts to ones living, breathing people, and when you promise those benefits and spend the money on paying benefits for other people (which is what we're doing with SS & Medicare) you are committing a terrible social injustice. Absolutely immoral.
