11. What about our social responsibility to the young?
What about the fact that the US has a higher infant mortality rate than most industrialized nations because we don't provide health care for the young in the way we do for the elderly? Why should the elderly get cheap prescription drugs but not the young? Why not invest in making college affordable for everyone who wants to go? Why not invest in making our educational system better to invest in our future? The government is doing a very one-sided job in meetings its social obligations and the young are coming out on the losing end. Its a backward policy.
