@MaximumSam called my reference to SS and Medicare "silly". That comment demonstrates your fiscal ignorance. Some of us on here who are fiscally literate had a long discussion about the federal debt at
this link.Ignoring immigration, SS and Medicare are driving our country off a fiscal cliff.
My ability to comprehend this problem is the biggest reason for my advocacy for severe restrictions on immigration.
As I've explained repeatedly (and you've never even addressed let alone refuted), SS and Medicare for the government are already hemorrhaging money at an unsustainable rate.
Since we know that SS and Medicare are losing money, we can conclude that the average participant is a net-loss for the government. Do you understand this?
Since we know that the average participant in SS and Medicare is a net loss for the government, we can conclude that adding any additional participants at or below average* makes the underlying problem worse. Do you comprehend this?
I've mentioned these facts repeatedly and you've failed to even so much as address them so I assume that either:
- They are simply beyond your comprehension, or
- You realize that this is true but figure you can kick the can down the road.
Prove me wrong. Actually answer.
*In reality the SS and Medicare systems are so hopelessly underwater that even participants well above average are net losers for the government but that is overcomplicating things and I don't need that to win this debate. Your position is sufficiently weak that I only need part of mine.
