Yes, Seniors Are Getting Handouts
-Dr. Walter Williams
In my opinion, it takes a special form of callousness and disregard for the welfare of future generations of Americans for today's senior citizens to fight against reform. Nobody's talking about abolition of federal senior programs. We must accept that serious mistakes were made and we must take compassionate corrective action. But what the heck! As I said in my "What handouts to cut?" column, "Both today's politicians and seniors will be dead, so why should they make sacrifices now to prevent an economic calamity decades off into the future?"
