Burden of Entitlements



This cartoon represents the burden of entitlements for US tax payers.  This has been a heavy up-hill challenge for most of us living in this country. The budgets for medicare and social security need to be cut in order to aid the US economy.  Something that could be done to fix this problem is to raise the age of retirement to 70 for those who are perfectly in good health  before they become eligible for medicare and social security.  This would also reduce the spending on healthcare by aiding those over 70 with much more serious health issues than younger retirees.
