It's not my problem; I'm not old. It's not my fault they didn't bother to save money for their inevitable health care costs at the end of their life- they should have been more fiscally responsible. I don't see the Medicare recipients here showing any concern for my health care; why should I have to pay for theirs?

I'm sure a private company will be delighted to give them comprehensive insurance at a reasonable rate. And if they won't? Well, not my problem. They can just go ask for help from their local church. I'm sure private charity can take care of them.

That's it; that's the solution to a large part of the budget. End Medicare. See? Easy.

I agree %1000 with you.

And then we can cut veteran's benefits and health care because I mean, really, they were getting paid while they were serving, I don't see why they keep getting freebies after they're done serving. It's not like taking care of them is doing me any good. They can just go out and get employer-provided health care at private jobs like the rest of us. And if they can't, well, that's not my problem if they were too dumb to avoid getting shot or bombed or did something stupid like lose limbs because they picked up a live grenade (That's what people like Rush said about Max Cleland, after all, and he would know.) Life's tough. They were getting paid while they were serving; that should be enough for them, like it is for the rest of us.

See? Medicare and veteran's benefits. Man, this budget cutting stuff is easy!

I earned the right to receive retirement pay and veteran benefits just like every person who does at least 20 years in the military. I still have to work to make ends meet. If you dont like the fact that I earned it then tough sh t. Because people volunteer for the service there is no need for the draft. Its also not my problem you dont have good health insurance. Its also not my problem if you cant get health insurance. Im guessing you didnt do anytime in the service you how can make up your smart ass remark a person being dumb not to avoid hand grenanade. I guess you think it okay seeing all these soldiers coming home in body bags and soldiers missing limbs. Not my problem if where you work at doesnt have a retirement plan. If your working and dont like the fact that your employer doesnt offer you a retirement plan then do me a favor quit your job. Maybe this country needs to go to the draft. If you dont like my remarks tough sh t.
