On the other hand if the republicans and yppej are successful then who knows. Maybe they can succeed in killing off enough old people to make them irrelevant to discussions of public policy. Although if that happens then the SS trust fund will also have an abundance of extra money in it so cuts in benefits won’t be needed.
