How come the military gets whatever it wants but our healthcare is on a strict budget? Healthcare on a strict budget? How do you think Medicare got $36 Trillion in the hole? It is from spending beyond its means. Year after year. How come you never tell the truth? Is lying a natural thing for you? Its been estimated that Medicare may experience a deficit of $27 trillion over the next 75 years. First of all, it hasn't happened yet. Secondly, there won't be a problem for at least another ten years so we have plenty of time to prepare. Plus, its only an estimate. One solution: cut back on defense spending. You know, inode, I keep telling you we can't afford these senseless wars and you keep wanting to elect people like gung ho Cheney who hasn't seen a war he doesn't like. When will you learn? Your question illustrates just how ignorant most people are about this subject. While you are generally one of the most ignorant individuals I can ever recall encountering, on this subject you are no worse than most. Your attitude shows how far you are willing to lie to make your point. You are not a very nice person. You sold your soul to the devil a long time ago. Most people just don't understand what the issues are. If you want to save money in health care you don't do it with IT. You don't do it with a government takeover. You don't do it with any of the things Obama has proposed. And you will do everything in your power to convince them that its a dire emergency that will bring down the country. I am sure you have your entire family and friends terrified.

How do you think Medicare got $36 Trillion in the hole? It is from spending beyond its means. Year after year. You're so full of shit and dishonesty, it's really pretty remarkable. You've taken your delusional rants to a whole new level of insanity and fantasy. You get your hypothetical $36 trillion number by extending Medicare's projected deficits into the future over an infinite time horizon. An infinite time horizon. That's idiotic in its own right. But then you claim Medicare got $36T in debt by spending beyond its means year after year? You're certifiable. You can't even keep your lies straight, can't separate delusion from reality. Medicare is currently in surplus. Any debt has yet to happen. Yet according to you, dumbshit raving lunatic that you are, medicare is $36T in debt due to "spending beyond its means year after year?" You're hysterical, in every sense of the word. SD
