The only solution is gutting the entitlements.

How much is fair? a 50% cut? 40% 70%? Means tested so some of the largest lifetime contributors get nada, screwed out of hundreds of thousands in their lifetime?

I was in healthcare for many, many years as an entrepreneur. I can say with certainty that the moment when total cost of a medical service was separated from a consumer decision, the costs spiraled out of control. Combine that with massive provider paperwork and the provider costs also spiraled out of control.

Now a consumer only cares about the deductible, not total cost.

Maybe it's time to start a company that produces cat food that humans can eat. That, or a euthanasia service.

I mean, obviously those Boomers are Useless Eaters.
