Social Security costs $700 billion this year. Medicare & Medicaid cost another $700 billion. Those numbers are going to go straight through the roof over the next two decades, and everyone understands that those numbers are totally unsustainable. Democrats are essentially mortgaging our grandchildren's futures in order to provide the added benefits that Obama wants to provide.
The money isn't there. Everyone knows it isn't there. What's amazing is that, for the first time, a world leader has pointed out publicly their concerns about the apparent indifference of American political leadership to this fact. The Chinese Premier voiced concern over the long-term safety of their investments in U.S. treasuries. How ironic that a nominally Communist leader needs to remind President Obama about our shared economic interests.
