It is clear that the takers are in full control of this country's economy. A Republican stronghold in NY was overtaken by a Democrat who demagogued the Ryan plan as it relates to Medicare. The American people seem to only care about what the government is going to provide them. Democrats seized on this mentality.
Democrat Kathy Hochul drew on voter discontent over Republican plans to revamp Medicare to score an upset win on Tuesday in a special election to represent a conservative upstate New York congressional district.
Virtually this entire race was fought over Medicare. Never mind that none of the changes in Medicare would effect anyone over 55 today. Never mind the system is broken and Republicans took a stab at fixing it with a better plan. No, the people listened to the Democrats saying that the Republicans are taking away your Medicare. Nothing could be further from the truth.
See, if Medicare continues the way it is it will bankrupt this country. NOBODY will have this gov't safety net. These assholes who voted to keep the status quo in NY just shit all over their kids and grandkids. Sure they will keep theirs but any meaningful changes to the plan in 20 years won't happen. The attitude that NY has is the same across the country. Do not touch Medicare. Period. No matter if the changes will never affect me. Don't even talk about it.
Socialism always succumbs into an inglorious death. Statists continue to prop it up because they know that if they can keep people reliant on the government then they can stay in power. These Socialist programs will ultimately collapse and may even destroy this country. We cannot keep kicking this shit down the road. But as long as we have takers overwhelming the makers in this country nothing will ever change. Grandpa should be ashamed that he is screwing his grandkids in a most egregious manner. Do we not wish that our children and theirs to have a better life than ours? As it is grandpa is further enslaving his future generations in government debt.
