There's no short period of savings. The CBO is projecting 10 years of

Suddenly, you're the tax expert?


No I just know how scared of old people the politicians are.

They are not going to cut Medicare in any real sense.
You are also ignoring the spending they are spinning off to the
states, well every state but Nebraska.


I don't think "old people" should be discounted. I think they should be
honored. They deserve (most of them) to live out their lives with some
dignity.

You're right. They're not going to cut the entitlements. They're going after
fraud, waste, and abuse.
