In January of 2008, the first Baby Boomers were eligible for Social Security benefits, to be followed by Medicare in 2011. By 2020, the drain on Social Security and Medicare funds will enter peak years. Our citizens have been misinformed by the present political leadership regarding both the present and future size of our debts. Due to the federal “entitlement” system created over the past 75 years, the bills for those benefits and many other federal costs are being passed to our children. These present benefits are an illegal and immoral transfer from the future that will impoverish rising generations. These entitlements and the other bills for our massively oversized federal government will condemn the next generation to a sinking standard of living and overwhelming debt, resulting in the loss of the very freedoms this nation was created to protect. Unfortunately, the existing political class is unwilling or unable to make the hard decisions that could avert the pending destruction and preserve our country.
