3. I could have dealt happily with that...

5. Sure, let the 64.75 yo's into medicare... but then the 64.5 yos will be in the streets!!
Where will it end? 59 year olds? 57?

No... a line was drawn in the... bureaucracy, and it must be maintained!!

Won't anyone think of the fiscal responsibility gew gaws? They have feelings that can be rated numerically too...
