As pressure grows to ease the financial burden on social security, pressure will also grow to eliminate the elderly and infirm to 'free up' more money for the 'fit' and those who contribute more than they take from society.

The high-minded definition of politics is: 'the art or science of government; the art or science concerned with guiding or influencing governmental policy.'
