3. Look, the plan is to wreck the programs for everyone. The age range is immaterial.

There is no promise from any campaign on either side that should be relied upon. Good faith does not exist in Washington DC. The world view of the republicans is to make all the "little" people pay by reducing the wealthy's taxes to -0-, while those who truly labor pay for a totally bloated military and every government office that benefits them. That's it. That's what they want. The Democrats want to free up some pennies for their districts and district projects. They want votes in the local and state areas.

NONE of those pipe dreams are going to happen.

We need serious revenue in this country and that means taxes and cuts. But not among successful programs and not among those who are least able to afford this level of change.

The obvious choices are to raise taxes and cut the military.
