“Free” healthcare from cradle to grave? Before buying the promise, ask two questions: What does it cost, and who pays?
My latest examines the price of Medicare for All and other “free” programs, the limits of wealth taxes, and the trade-offs Americans should understand.
The bottom line: Somebody always pays.

Want to know what “free” social programs really cost? Look at Sweden.
Higher income taxes, hefty payroll contributions, a 25% VAT, and a healthcare system where patients still face fees and delays.
There is no free lunch.

“Free” healthcare, free college, expanded child care. Sounds great. But who pays?
The price tag for these promises could reach $222 trillion over 10 years. And taxing the rich won't close the gap.

Demand your representatives fix the debt, the deficits, Social Security, and Medicare - or please, Vote for someone who will.

The U.S. Treasury's Multi-Trillion Dollar Mistake realclearmarkets.com/article…
Congress will not fix this because another economist writes another report.
It happens when We the People understand the danger and demand repair: spending restraint, entitlement reform, and stronger growth.
Our children are counting on us. Do not leave them in a burning house.

Social Security and Medicare carry unfunded obligations in the tens of trillions. The trust funds run out in a few years. Current law would then force major benefit cuts.
There is no painless way out. Discipline now is small next to a failed financial system later.

Interest on the debt already consumes more than one fifth of all federal revenue.
That is money that cannot go to defense, infrastructure, or the next generation. The GAO says the path is unsustainable. This is math, not a talking point.
Les Rubin’s op-ed: foxnews.com/opinion/americas…
Our fiscal house is on fire. Our children are already inside.
The national debt has crossed $40 trillion — roughly $117,000 for every American. Interest alone now tops $1 trillion a year.
Les Rubin in @FoxNews: waiting is an act of surrender.

The debt has become a giant Ponzi scheme: bigger new borrowing every year to pay maturing debt and cover deficits.
A few in Congress are crying out. Their voices get lost in Washington.
Lincoln was right: with public support you can get anything done. Without it, nothing.
Listen. Learn. Act while there is still time.

Promises for future Social Security and Medicare benefits exceed the funding to pay them by about $86 trillion.
Trust funds are projected to face depletion in 2032 and 2033.
“Trust the government. They will not let this happen” is not a plan.
The message to Congress has to flip: fix this, or we will vote for someone who will.
einpresswire.com/article/945…
The projections: deficits of $2 trillion to $3 trillion every year, climbing forever.
Those numbers are optimistic. They do not fully count new programs, war, or recession.
Les Rubin: “At some point, the numbers stop working.”

America’s debt crisis is no longer a problem for the next generation.Les Rubin: the national debt has passed $40 trillion — about 125% of GDP — and we are in a dangerous zone.“The point is to make sure those four words never have to be said: I told you so.”
