Ethical Geezers--Are We a Minority?
Lots of stuff in the blogosphere on Rep Ryan's proposals. One thing he does is to exempt people over 55 from the effects of his change on Medicare. That may be wise politically, but it's not right. I prefer the approach in the original Ryan-Rivlin plan, where geezers would choose between the current plan and the new plan (supported premiums/vouchers). Best would be a plan which is phased in and which applies to everyone. No special breaks for geezers, even though we do vote.
