So public opinion polls show it is "unacceptable" to cut social security, medicare, and medicaid. Fine. How about we introduce transitional programs to let people who want to opt out do so. We wouldn't fully cut the programs right away by any means. No one wants the poor and elderly just put out on the streets as proponents of these programs say would happen if they didn't exist. As a young professional I'm looking at my paycheck and cringing at having to pay taxes into programs that will probably not be round for me to even use in the future. I would rather be in charge of myself. Or at the very least, I want to pay into a privatized, personal account (look to Chile's example for good guidance).
