Thompson is Dead Right on EntitlementsBy Charlie Stenholm

Presidential candidate Fred Thompson spent some time earlier today reminding South Carolina voters about the crisis ahead for Social Security, Medicare and such programs.

The Associated Press noted:

Recurring spending demands for programs that pay for health care, welfare and Social Security will take up the entire budget within 30 years, Thompson said.   "We're spending ourselves into oblivion," he said.   "It cannot be sustained."

He's dead right on this.  We can only hope the people will listen.
