Then what we have is a sorry a@@ god that doesn’t deserve the light of day given the fact that some THINK He created it all.

A sad god. A bloody revengeful god.

What a poor invention of a MAN.

It will get worse.

A consumption tax is fine. Single payer Health Care must be in place BEFORE this can happen. The Brits have a Health system that works FAIRLY well. I’d even take the Canadian model.

Knock off the abortion analogy – that’s really nothing more than a pot shot at NOTHING but your own ignorance. Bliss you you.

The baby boomers gre up in a time period where such things as smoking and other poor health choices were common. This life style cost them health wise and they are paying for it in their later years. On one hand, my libertarian view point tells me that it is some one’s right to smoke, or do what ever they want as long as they do not harm any one else, but paycheck for these illness brought on because of smoking and other bad habits is just too costly for society to foot the bill any longer.

Let’s face it, people are in poorer health today than they were any time in the past. This is mainly due to our sedintray life style, and I am guilty of it myself. But the other day I was at a McDonalds eating and I noticed a family setting over across from me that had an elderly women, possibly the grandmother of the small children, and she was being very contrary to the poepl at her table. She through a fit because she could not figure out how to open the box on the hamburger, which the middle aged women eventually did for her. About five minutes later I heared her throw another hissy fit because she could not chew her hamburger. She was cursing up a storm and caused a scene. I minded my own buisness, but I could not help but worry that this might be our future if things are not turned around.

When I say that they are not enough young people to take care of the aging population, I meant that with the dimenishing job market and the fact that wages are stagnating for many workers and that many young people are graduating from college with huge amounts of debt there will not be any way to support the retirees. I have to wonder how we are going to get out of this mess. When I was working, I did not make enough money to support myself and pay into social security.

Every action whether evil or good, demands a consequence. We are cooked.

Some experts have stated that if we had left social security alone, we would not have to worry about it until about the 2070s. But the fact of the matter is that not only the government, but also the older generations did not mind the store very well and will soon turn to the youth of this country for answers. Young people today may never have any social security for themselves and I say good riddance.

Social security was mainly created so that the elderly could retire from the work force and have a fare bit of money saved to live on for the rest of their days. The youth could then enter the workforce and replace the retiring person and simultaneously pay into their own social security account. However, with the squandering, nay, looting of the social security treasurey, the older generations can not afford to retire, nor can young people pay for their own retirement.

For example, I recently ordered a pizza and n oldman showed up to my door to delive me my food. He told me that he was 65-years-old and had retired a few years ago, but he had to reneter the workforce because he did not have enough money saved. I took the phrase “no money saved” to mean that his social secuirty is gone. As jobs become scarcer and the boomers find themselves with out the ability to retire, it is going to become increasingly common to see the eldely working jobs that teenagers and young adults are accustom to working.

I have heared experts say that the only way to solve the social security crisis is to bring as many illegal aliens as possible and grant them citizenship to pay into and save social secuirty, but this program may be beyond saving.
