The Long Con: Social Security and Medicare in the “Grand Bargain”
Update below.
“Social Security and Medicare have absolutely nothing to do with the short-term U.S. fiscal problem.”
And, no, not “long-term,” either, in any way that requires what’s being proposed. Please, read the article by William Lind, which contains the chart and quote linked above. It’s a clear, short analysis that I hope will put an end for you to the mendacious tropes constantly peddled throughout the media that suggest the opposite. Let it sink in, once and for all: absolutely nothing. (You might also want to take a look to my previous post on Social Security, to see that this program is one of the United States government’s biggest creditors.)
