   Solving both the Medicare and Social Security problems is extremely easy --   
   if the Congressers would just get down to business.  Raise the age of   
   entitlement to *both* problems to 75 years of age.  That would make both   
   programs equivalent to the conditions of their origin.  After all, people   
   are living far longer these days!
