Alright Studio, let's assume all your assumptions are right. In particular, you said:
"All these fancy and even radical plans aren't going to amount to much I'm afraid. The system is just too inefficient to hope for anything efficient to come out of it. The U.S. is too bankrupt and corrupt and that's not going to change anytime soon." How do we assure that alternative plans come to fruition? How do we make sure that efficient systems are put into place? * I was attempting to lay out a truly comprehensive plan to address this issue. Do you have any additional ideas to improve it or get it off the ground? The US is in current financial straights. There is no doubt, The proposal to find the funding through cutting programs and capping the life, is both a short-term aqnd long-term solution to this concern. Do you think there is a better way to do it?
