The entitlement system is broke because of demographics, no more no

partially true. the collapse of our economy, engineered by the right,

SS/Medicare would be broke, no matter what happened to the economy.

actually...no.

SS is easily fixable. raise the salary cap and means test it and it's
stable

medicare's in a bit more of a bind
