The year 2050

The year is 2050 and all of the dire predictions have come to fruition. Social security checks are being reduced, Medicare is surviving using rationing and Medicaid is broke. The interest on the debt is now 50% of the budget and inflation is eating up what is left of the paycheck. Republicans in congress are blaming the Democrats for spending too much and the Democrats are blaming the Republicans for not raising taxes. The results of yesterday’s congressional elections show that 90% of incumbents were re-elected. We have the government we deserve. To quote that famous philosopher Pogo, we have met the enemy and they is us”.
