One wonders how some of our older conservatives, who are so adamant about cutting "entitlements," will respond when and if the gummint stops sending them their monthly Social Security checks.

(Thinking particularly about one of our older conservative Mudcatters who is passionately opposed to single payer national health care, saying that his health care coverage is more than adequate:    Medicare and the Veteran's Administration.)
