Exactly how is Social Security and Medicare bankrupting the US economy, when the US spend more on defense and the military than the next fifteen countries combined. In 2005, we spent $518,000,000,000 on defense, and it has only gone up since then. If we spent one percent of the money we spend on defense, it would give us $5,000,000,000 dollars to spend on medical research, universal health care coverage.
Of course, you can also look at it this way...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
