The elites have demonstrated that they have plenty of issues at their disposal to turn people against each other, but I don't think SS and Medicare are two of them. People who have planned their lives around those benefits will be in for tragic disappointment when the house of cards comes down (when they are at their most vulnerable).

If Gato's analysis is wrong, you might have a point. If Gato's analysis is right, then you are blaming him for a problem that was baked into this Ponzi scheme (Thereby killing the messenger). If we acknowledge the problem now, we can at least entertain transitioning away from a scheme that will only create exponentially greater damage over time. The "Transition" will be brutally painful, but how can we in good conscience insist that future generations bear the brunt of this (And I am not sure we will escape it)?
