I guess this is where we won't agree. I see running out of funding as a imminent collapse. You see it as a need for more funding.
So the government can just take more and more and more to keep funding this stuff.
What do you think will happen when social security can no longer be funded? The only choice is to once increase taxes.
Look at the Obama example of the post office. They run out of money, they raise the cost of a postage stamp, yet they still run huge deficits. How will this vary from what will happen with any medical programs? It won't. In fact, it doesn't. It appears as if you admit to financial insolvency of SS and medicare, but I suppose if we keep throwing more money at it it wil be fine. This is what happens with all government programs.
