Depends on how much is provided - the simple fix is to provide enough.

This is the biggest hurdle, and it's because so many on the right have been brainwashed by outlets like Fox News. It is indeed a hard thing to overcome. Eventually as the older folks die out, it will come about naturally.

To "provide enough" would cost trillions of extra dollars per year.

- 1. Will require a large increase in taxation.
- 2. Will likely cause some form of inflation.
- 3. Will not provide enough money for a majority of people to survive on.
- 4. Has no significant political support in the US.
