You have a bunch of people in low income states (red states) who are paying wayy less into Medicare than they get out of it, and price gouging medical professionals who are charging wayy more than what the same procedures or advice, guidance, prescriptions, cost in other countries. My point is that people seem to get all bent out of shape about student loan tax dollars, and yet there is much more waste and moral hazard, and forced subsidies, in the Medicare system. This isn't whether it's "paid as agreed", it's where the system is set up to provide these overly generous subsidies to places and people who can't afford it, and then we are all supposed to get upset about things involving student loan reform. Don't even get me started about military waste.

A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well
