Homestead mailing list

Marie, Medicare hasn't even started hitting the boomer generation, yet, and 
it is already broke.  yesterday (I think in the WSJ), a leading gov't doc was 
talking about using the UK system to determine how much it was worth - for 
the gov't-- to prolong a life (about $30,000 for a year, for someone our 
age).  That is rationing, today, before the gov't admits there is no money.

I'm not a masochist.  If I thought the gov't could provide free healthcare , 
housing, security, food, shelter, etc., I'd be a mainstream democrat, myself. 
 I just believe that someone will eventually admit that the numbers don't 
probably add, and we'll all be stuckm to fend for ourselves.  'figuring it 
out --- day-to-day --- until then.............
