Oh, yeah, I agree totally with you Snowflake. Especially Christians need to realize that materialism is a sin, first and foremost. We certainly don't have an excuse.

To get back to the other. I think that getting rid of those programs would still have to be a phased in approach. You can't just yank social security out from under old folks who are dependent on it. I am 52 and would gladly give up my social security. I haven't given THAT much to it anyway. Then, you could make medicare "income dependent" somehow. People who can afford doctors appointments shouldn't be letting the government pay for them. That's just some initial thoughts. But the politicians are too afraid to make ANY changes. So here we sit.

And you shall take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it.
ESV Numbers 33:53
