That seems fair. If it is that way, too, I would allow an opt-out measure, but make sure the people who take it are very financially secure and really don't have to supplement their other retirement income.
Why? Are you their mother?
end the damn program, and make it perfectly plain that it's not coming back, that people who are foolish with their money will not be happy old ladies, unless they put their son through medical school or married him off to a doctor.l
It's past time people stopped pretending the government, whose only instrument is force, should be allowed the authority to tell a man how to run his life, or be allowed the authority to take from others what is needed to patch up the mistakes a man makes of his life.
People who want to play Florence Nightengale have the freedom to do so, what they don't have, what they should never have, is the means to use the frightening power of government to compel compliance with their fantasies. Let them use their own money if they want to be altruistic.
In fact, it's only when they're using their own money can they even pretend to be altruistic.
