Let's privatize profit and socialize risk!

This is the plan that has worked out fantastically for the vaccine business. Profits of $500 million in 1990 - to $24 billion in 2009 - to a projected $52 billion in 2016.

I think social security recipients should be the ones to bail them out. With the baby boomers growing long in the tooth, we are going to have more old geezers wandering around than ever before. Do we really want to build all those nursing homes, put up with alzheimers patients running amuck down main street, changing adult diapers, and endure with Auntie Maud who blessedly kicks the bucket at 97, only to leave all her money to the Welsh Corgi Society of Auckland? I say "no!"

Plenty of old peope live on nothing but their social security check. A few such payments will leave them penniless. They'll be turned out of their houses in droves and take up residence on park benches where the first hard frost will finish them off. Problem solved.
