We're told endlessly by the Keynesians in DC and the media-academic complex to spend, spend, spend! Spend on anything, spend on everything, government and citizens, here's another Obamazillion. Spend it! But wait a minute, there is also Too Much spending, on healthcare. Costs must be cut or Medicare, Medicaid, and Medikill will go bankrupt! But that is just more disinformation. In fact, we should all save, not spend, for economic prosperity, and government should go to Mars (on its own dime) and get out of our hair. But no government program, tragically, can go bankrupt. When you hear such talk, it is propaganda for state expansion. That was true over the Bush Social Security privatization forced-savings scam, and it is true over the Obama medical takeover trick. Medicare can no more go broke, unfortunately, than the Pentagon. When you have a money-printing press, bankruptcy can be endlessly put off (at great cost to society). Government's natural propensity, fueled by Maynard's crazynomics, is always to spend. It never wants to cut costs, but to increase them. When it says it does, it means it is going to increase the looting of the productive for the parasites, in this case for Big Pharma, the AMA, Big Hospitals, Big Nursing Homes, and the rest of the gang—plus, of course, Big State.
