Romney published an Op Ed and says, “No one countenances cutting benefits for current or near retirees. But Social Security and Medicare benefits for future retirees should be means-tested — need-based, that is to say — and the starting age for entitlement payments should be linked to American life expectancy.”
This unfortunately has been the philosophy of those in power for the last 50 years… basically they want to subsidize benefits for themselves at the expense of our children and grandchildren.
America used to be a country where people tried to make the future better for others, now it is a place where everyone tries to steal as much as they can for themselves. Doctors artificially limit supply to keep their rates high while increasing suffering for others, the patent system allows trolls to rob those who actually work, and every special interest tries to rob everyone else. We are doomed.
