<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1180019, member: 3011&quot;]I never intended my post to be read as a comprehensive plan.&nbsp; It is just to point out that things can be done, and you pointed out a few ideas.&nbsp; Young people will naturally be anti-entitlement.&nbsp; But historically, poverty among the elderly was a serious national problem that the entitlement programs addressed.&nbsp; That doesn&#039;t mean they shouldn&#039;t be changed, as you suggest.&nbsp; To eliminate them entirely will probably mean a return of the problem.&nbsp; One thing that could be done to help the problem of medical care would be to enact policies to increase the number of doctors and hospitals.&nbsp; Every piece of legislation is designed to increase the access to and demand for medical care.&nbsp; But as we all know from economics 101, the way to bring down prices is to increase the supply of medical care.&nbsp; As for the military spending, it is way beyond what the nation can afford to pay perpetually.&nbsp; It can be reduced in an orderly manner or it can continue to grow and eventually collapse as it did in the Soviet Union.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
