Is the coming Social Security/Medicare crisis REALLY that worrisome?

Quote from Cesko:

Oh boy, there are still people who believe that left-wingers truly care.I am assuming you are the person who doesn't try to minimize his tax load by any means necessary. Just like every left-winger pays his "fair share" of taxes without employing an accountant for figuring out how to pay the bare minimum (unlike those greedy right-wingers). You are a poser, pal.

Sort of like John Kerry who's hag billionare wife paid 10% in taxes.

Quote from jficquette:

I would guess that they are still private now or they have not been organized yet. There are some big companies mapping the genes but the new companies coming on stream will be the ones to take that information and use it. Not so much the ones grinding it out.

I guess BBH, biotech holdr is a good investment, althought I don't think it will come from the big biotech companies. I really feel they will come from new companies whose founders are now still in high school.

It not 30 years then for sure 50 years.

Thanks again and that makes sense to me.
 
You know, if you cut the military budget in half you could cover the shortfall(s) easily and still be spending more on guns than any other country in the world....

We can only hope that simple cures for all those diseases are out there in 30 years -- I'll be 74 if I'm still here. Personally, I'm quite skeptical but I certainly won't turn it down if it shows up.

Don't even get me started on antigravity, faster than light travel, free energy, teleportation, robots doing the dirty work. And labor becoming free.

We are 30 to 50 years away on that too.

And we are exactly 47.2 years away from changing the weather at will, traveling backwards through time, cloning ourselves through quantum superposition, breathing underwater, synthesizing entire galactic systems from genetically-engineered goat livers, and resurrecting Nixon.

the US government will inflate the dollar out of existence in order to avoid payings its debts or will knock a couple of zeroes off the currency before its ultimate demise.

This is NO joke. In 2005, the Turkish government knocked 6-zeros off of the currency... 6-FREAKIN' ZEROS!! That is, a cup of coffee which formerly cost 3,000,000 Lira... then cost 3, "New Lira". Any Turkish citizen with Turkish fiat assets was WIPED OUT!

Same fate is in store for US citizens... the only question is "when"?
 
Quote from jficquette:

No because in 30 years there will be no cancer, heart disease, diabetes.

Without disease we will not have any health issues to contain with.


People don't understand how much the world will be changing and keep thinking in terms of today.

plus, by then we'll all have our own personal spaceships, and can go to other galaxies for healthcare
