Rand Paul is a sociopathic hypocrite who is a Teabagger to the core. Total denial of facts is his status quo. He is either very stupid or very dishonest... I believe the latter. There are far more elderly than ever before per capita due to better health care and that does put a strain on social systems but that is simply something we must deal with. The selfish attitudes of too many Americans disgusts me. If corporations and the 1% paid their fair share we wouldn't be in this fiscal mud.

Rand Paul is such an asshat.

Wow! I cited a Forbes articles which links directly to the Medicare Trustees Report and this genius is still asking me for a source.

Furthermore, we had no problem funding Medicare until we encountered the Republican problem. We have taxation so that we might all benefit from programs such as Medicare, Public School, Fire and Police, etc. At some time in all of our lives, we each will need these things and thus, we have taxation. Only the worst of animals would reduce taxation from any of these programs. Leave taxation as it was during and before the Clinton Administration and the country will continue on as usual.

Apparently, your reading comprehension is not so good. I asked you for ACADEMIC documentation and you send me an except from an interview from Forbes Magazine which, also, gives no reference to ACADEMIC documentation that will substantiate its ridiculous allegation that Medicare will be broke by 2016. I work for a major university medical center in the department of finance. We receive a lot of Medicare Funding and believe me, if Medicare was going to be broke by 2016, we would know about it.

"please provide us with academic documentation"

"Trustees: Medicare will go broke in 2016..", Forbes. That's officially from the Medicare Trustees.

"when YOU drive out of your driveway...."

Actually no, it's direct taxation. You pay through gasoline tax so only those who drive pays by how much they drive. So your argument is because I live in the current system I shouldn't advocate govt not wasting resources by running things? Retard alert!

[Samantha Stevens]

What has "Charity" got to do with this. You people are so disgustingly illiterate.

[Samantha Stevens]

You are an illiterate parrot, H1TMANactual. If Medicare is "completely unsustainable "Pozi" scheme", then please provide us with academic documentation that will substantiate your ridiculous allegations. You can't, because the documentation does not exist in the academic world, only in the world of illiterate swine propaganda.

[Samantha Stevens]

When you send your kids to school, you are "taxing and taking someone else's money". When YOU drive out of your driveway and on to a public road, YOU are taxing and taking someone else's money. When YOU call police or fire for protection, YOU are taxing and taking someone else's money. YOU are filthy, illiterate white trash, H1TMANactual.
