When it comes to entitlement programs, there’s a question whether older people would be willing to accept that their unsustainable bennies today will mean a permanently lower standard of living for their children and grandchildren. I think in the main that they do. Even though they may know that they are going to take out of SS an unreasonable amount far more than they ever put in, we tell ourselves “we paid in and promises were made.” The kids are just going to have to cope and figure out how to be successful in the situation that that they have inherited.
Because people can’t deal with actual reality, there is going to be an epic kneecapping, and almost no one will be spared.
I’m not sure that extra noses are covered under my policy.
But, but … free birth control!
