Do you even read what you write?
"Given that I just pointed out that we spend over a trillion dollars every single year on social spending specifically targeted to our elderly, that's kind of a silly statement, don't you think?"
And the implication from you isn't that you'd love to see that go away? I'm sorry Tom but after someone whines about something for long enough you pretty much figure out that it's a sore spot with the person and if they had their way everyone would be paying their own way in the world and just have to face trouble without any help from government.
