It's either Social Security or poverty rates among senior citizens over 50% and untold deaths caused to starvation and such. I'm sure even the most dogmatic, free market, individual responsibility libertarian would have a problem with that.

It's not relevant? What Willravel will just wish it into existence because he wants it to be that way? You can think of them, then name them and show their record for supporting and action in that direction. Otherwise, your statement is fallacy.
It requires Congress to pass the bill, and to also not touch it. So there is some relevance to it. Historically it isn't done, nor are there any supporters that I know of. So I ask again, show me 1 single politician that is willing to risk their career in pushing for such legislation.
