Then he says he talks to a relatively limited group of young - inexperienced - people telling them they will be able to opt out and take care of themselves and the elderly... like it's going to happen overnight... I mean, for each and every elder out there...
Opting out of what, and WITH what? Where will they be able to save enough money for their own old days if his worst-case hyper-inflation scare eats them all up?
That guy is nuts (except for his cutting the stupid military welfare). He doesn't make any sense.
He's screaming 'wolf' to everybody he can fool with.
IOW, he uses the SCARE tactics to prop himself up.

Any of them. The Republicans are even more adept at foot shooting than the Democrats.
