    Except for the "disability scandal"? Honest people could argue there is a crisis, but it's no scandal. Except maybe in rep meme land.

    It should be 1 acre of land ownership required to cast votes in national elections and fractional votes below 1 acre.

    Scat had a suggestion: one vote per dollar of net worth.

    That is approximately what we already have, isn't it?

    Most social welfare programs are ponzi schemes. I don't see how Obamacare, SS, MEdicare are any different. Maybe if we just hold hands and sing koom-buy-ya, things will be alright. Honestly, I don't care too much. Boomers voted in these bums and believed their Utopian promises. Soon, they will pay the ultimate price. Chickens home to roost? Yes, I think so.

    When medicare became law in 1965, they projected part A hospitalization would cost $9 billion dollars in 1990. It actually cost $67 billion dollars.


    With part B doctors fees, they did an even better one to us.
    They just said it will cost about $500 million a year. They didn't project into the future. I wonder why. LOL Because in 1990 they actually spent $163 billion. When they don't bother to project, they have a very good reason for skipping this essential budgeting process. It might not help sell the monetary scam. I mean program.

    It's not like we jumped from 1965 to 1990 in one day. Boomers had decades to reevaluate and reassess. Nobody wanted to because everyone wanted to believe in a free lunch. People will get what they deserve on this one. The sad part is these assholes screwed future generations and did a great job ruining the country. Oh well.

    He is dreadfully unhappy about pretty much everything most of the time. Only if he were cheery would I think something's gone terribly wrong.
