>>The ultimate guarantors of SS, Medicare etc. are US voters. US voters have two bad choices: R's which destroyed fiscal balance of country, turning surplus into ruin over 8 years... Or D's who continue the process, and attempt to add mandatory large expenditures for purchase of personal health insurance from private entities... (never mind, the mandatory purchase will not exceed 10 - 17% of gross income). This is rationalized for auto insurance because "driving is a privilege, licensed by the state". Dems wish to extend same to living. So: Both choices evil. If both choices evil, then, no choices.

Would those ultimate guarantors be those who watch the "Biggest Loser", "Simpsons", "WWF wrestling", and Lifetime movies? I get the feeling that we, as a society, are being led down a path of brain atrophy so that when the time comes to make decisions that are difficult, only a select few will be able to make them. We as a country were persuaded to vote for a great speech maker in 2008. Who will we vote for next time, as welfare recipients have more children {potential voters}, and those who work hard for a dollar have fewer children because they can't afford them. I know families in 5 bedroom homes who pay rent of $25 monthly plus welfare, plus WIC for their babies, free Medicare, almost free daycare, plus, plus, plus.... I wonder what Sasha and Melia watch on TV? Or maybe they have "reading time"??
