Its been estimated that Medicare may experience a deficit of $27 trillion over the next 75 years. You don't know WTF you're talking about. Read the trustees report; I have. It clearly states that the unfunded liability is $36 Trillion. Today's dollars. What that means is that you'd have to put $36 Trillion in cash in the fund today to meet the anticipated 75 year liability. So, if you put it off for ten years you will need maybe 45 Trillion. You could eliminate the military budget altogether and not make a dent in Medicare. >> You are not a very nice person. Because I'm freaking honest? Well, I'm sorry about that. But SOMEBODY needs to be telling the truth because the Democrats sure as hell are NOT.
