This is their excuse, an aging population drives up costs. Yes their is an unprecedented number of citizens reaching their golden years and requiring more care and services. The real costs are hidden in the inefficiency in operating the services and the outrageous practices of the government and private sector. Unnecesary paperwork, unprecidented profits in the drug industry, lobbying expenses, payoffs, and greed. Cut down on these areas and we would be able to meet our obligations. I know because this was my job for many years and I had to fight tooth and nail to try and save taxpayer money and receive daily threats from those who thought they were above the law and government regulations. Billions could be saved with honest people administering these services.
