                                                                              since most did contribute fully, they
                                                 deserve to be paid. But ifeach (of the 75 million baby boomers) begins to
                                                 collect just $1,000 a month in Social Security and Medicare benefits, the
                                                 total added to the u.s. government's payroll is $75 billion a month. This is
                                                 similar to the cost of one Hurricane Katrina or one Iraq War -  every

                                                 a victim ofthe coming financial hurricanes ... but not much time.

                                                    In Sunday School, I was taught:

                                                        Give aperson afish andyoufeed himfor a day. And that is what we
                                                        as a nation have been doing. This is the entitlement mentality of
                                                        Social Security and Medicare.

                                                        and I have been doing. We want people to learn to be rich and teach
                                                        others to be rich.
