When I read about anti-health care reformers bitching about the government taking away their medicare it really pisses me off. When they demand no real reform should happen because it will cost more Im appalled. The god damn truth is that Medicare will be bankrupt in less than ten years- 2017 is the current timetable.

Then we have the other fact that Social Security will be bankrupt in 2043.

I was born in November 1982. I pay taxes. I pay social security. I pay medicare. Im lucky to have a job but I am leaving to hopefully begin a new teaching career. But will I ever see one dime from SS or medicare. Absolutley not.
You see, us "Millenials" have been shit on. We had good childhoods. That was a prosperous time. But now we get to come out of college during the worst recession in a hundred years and scramble to find some sort crappy sevice industry job because lord knows your screwed if you choose labor. We will have paid into medicare for 20 years and all of that money will be long sucked up by our aging parents. I will be 61 in 2043. Damn. And even though I would have been contributing money to that system ALL OF MY LIFE it will conviently become bankrupt right before I can retire- if they haven't changed retirment to 75 by then.
So when the fuckheads bitch about their medicare I just want to scream. They want nothing to change but they themselves will have to go through this shit in less than ten years if we stay the present course. And atleast the fuckers weren't paying taxes ALL OF THEIR LIVES for a system that is gauranteed to be gone by the time they're allowed to take part.
Fuck them. Selfish fucking idiots.
