Why is America

[merrylander]

so damned cheap? All the pundits and so-called experts are moaning and groaning about 'entitlements'. Other nations look after their people and still manage to keep the national budget in-line. I have never heard the term 'entitlement' used in any of those countries that I have lived in or visited. People there simply take it for granted that these things need to be done. Yet here there is much wailing and weeping about the simple act of letting people pass their senior years in dignity, or getting decent healthcare.


All the billionaires need to realize that they can't take it with them. Leaving it to their kids is going to ruin their lives, look at all the heirs and heiresses that make the pages of the press these days, a truely sorry lot. So what has amassing so much at the expense of so many done for them. Start all the 'charities' that they will they must know that people hate their guts.

As the king said t'is a puzzlement.
