Now, you know that is just a projection, not a real number and therefore total bullshit....a 75 year projection is laughable.....5 year projections are laughable... This is the problem with liberals. Most of you are as dumb as a box of rocks. I've seen no indication you have the gumption to understand the difference between an actuarial analysis and a projection. And you certainly have no idea of the concepts that come into play. However, it is simpler than all that. MEDICARE PART A WILL BE FLAT BROKE IN TEN YEARS. That much, we know. It isn't a guessing game. Maybe the unfunded liability (that is the amount we need TODAY) is really 56 Trillion or only 26 Trillion (not a chance of that). Whatever it is, we can't afford it. Look, you're too f*cking stupid to have this conversation. So just run along now 'cause I'm not discussing it further with you.
