That's the dirty little secret that certain politicos don't want to raise. Obamacare and bailouts are bad, but don't you dare touch Medicare benefits or Social Security entitlements.

At some point someone (from one of the parties) is going to have to fix this mess by raising the eligibility age significantly, and probably also by means testing. Whoever finally does it is going to take a big political hit from the polygrip and viagra crowd, but it will have to happen eventually.
