As you agree, this is why it's so essential we elect a President who is capable of terminating Medicare and Social Security benefits. This is likely the last chance to save America from collapse under the deadly weight of elderly people.

If elderly people understand they will only receive Medicare and Social Security benefits for another 24 months, most older Americans will be motivated to again become part of the system.

If they're not capable of that they can either dance in the street or take a fatal overdose like the elderly citizens of Russia have been doing after Putin reduced their pension benefits below the monthly cost of food. Only elderly Russians with a garden allotment or savings will survive.

This is why the Republican Party has tried to put forth strong leaders who are able to portray at least some of Putin's strength and determination to restore our past imperial ambitions. They've found relative weak imitations, but we face elections with the candidates we have, not the ideal candidates we might wish to have.

Hedge funds, WS banks, PE yes they employ people, but at the same time
they buy companies with debt, downsize people and then resell the more
lean machine, these entities care only for profit, not for people.

No not everyone is smart enough to succeed in life as a wealthy person,
but then again I've seen wealthy plumbers, government workers, garbage men
etc.etc., as society needs all types of people not just wealthy ones.
