Since World War II, the "elderly" have had a firm grip on the direction of this nation. I do not buy into your argument that they couldn't have provided better for themselves. You would prefer to saddle later generations with old debts, rather than to allow them to build on the prosperity that has come since Reagan. ~SB~

That's a myth. The elderly are pretty well off generally.

>> They lived through a Depression ,<< As children. Then they worked through the greatest 70 expansion years that any nation ever. >>and don't have the money put away like you in keoghs, iras, and annuities. << Actually they did have more money based on earnings power and lower taxes. Another entitlement is not needed, savings plans for the children are. Your plan is not very sympathetic, why should our children pay for your lack of planning? You're a DR. Your wife is a Dr. Why should our children pay for your drugs in 20-30 years. Stick the money away now. You don't need that new ski boat and a third Lexus. Jim
