    Which will be at least partially offset by all the SS processors being laid off due to attrition and having to go on -- wait for it -- welfare!

      When was the last time the feds had a massive lay-off?

      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

          If we're talking about the balancing the savings in SS, it's going to have to be massive.

            But we're not talking about that. That was me explaining to Copper one possible result if the government got what he believes is its wish to let all the sick people die. This will not happen, because we live in a rational world, especially compared to Copper's cockamamie theory. So the exchange is silly to begin with.

              As I said - whenever Americans talk about foreign healthcare, they're actually talking about American healthcare.

              Canadian life expectancy: 82 years
              UK life expectancy: 81 years
              US life expectancy: 78.7 years

              I was only joking

                Yes of course I ought to have realised that. Silly me.

                  It ain't that rational. If and when funds become finite, what is the better use of money, national defense or Medicare? Public education or Medicare? Infrastructure or Medicare?

                      American conservatives have yet to find a problem that cannot be solved by encouraging people to buy more guns, and I'm sure the dangers of an aging population are no different in that regard.

                        The motivation exists, there can be no question about this.

                                I seem to recall the motivation in this country being widespread public pressure and support for a law that would allow individuals with hopelessly terminal illness to chose the time and manner of their passing. But what would I know, eh?

                                Like Phibes stated, when Americans talk about foreign health care topics they are actually talking about US health care issues.

                                Be my guest, but your definition of motivation is just another in the many distractors you throw out to make sure you get last word.

                                Go ahead and motivate. Knock yourself out.

                                  Just because you have spent some time there doesn't disqualify anyone else from posting about Canada.

                                  That seems to be your answer for every post that even mentions Canada. You happen to be inside the border, so what?

                                  And money provides motivation, really, ask any Canadian.

                                    So what’s your point?

                                    I’ll correct people’s perception of this country as I see fit. Especially if they don’t know what they are talking about. Like you for example.

                                      And money provides motivation, really, ask any North American.

                                        Okay so the motivation is cockamamie along with your theory.

                                        Not so.

                                        Are there not numerous incidents in history of allocating resources in times of need? Euthanasia can be looked at in the same way...Copper is correct. The motivation will exist.

                                        I seem to recall the motivation in this country being widespread public pressure and support for a law that would allow individuals with hopelessly terminal illness to chose the time and manner of their passing. But what would I know, eh?

                                        Like Phibes stated, when Americans talk about foreign health care topics they are actually talking about US health care issues.

                                        Be my guest, but your definition of motivation is just another in the many distractors you throw out to make sure you get last word.

                                        Go ahead and motivate. Knock yourself out.

                                        The initial motivation? Perhaps.

                                        But it does lend itself to a slippery slope argument, especially if resources become scarce.

                                        “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                          Really now? You don’t say.

                                          Yes of course, ask any North American.
