Would like to add 8) many of us feel like there's a straw sticking out of our backs that our elders use for handouts they like, while going nuts about the immorality of any they don't. The out-of-control national debt is almost entirely related to Social Security and Medicare, with military spending making up the rest of the problem. I am not going to get those. They're for baby boomers and the green xers who are lucky enough to get in before the bottom drops out. It might behoove people to look at the social spending they get, consider the spending they've spend decades cutting, and ask themselves if they *really* want to live in a country where we don't do handouts.
