Betty, a good deal of these cushions protect assets for eventual inheritance. Not only do people not have to take in their parents when they are feeble, but devastating illness need not automatically wipe out all assets to pass on.......Thus, it is hard to figure a balance sheet.......

It's not welfare, it's an inequity in the tax code which should be dealt with.
