Government hasn’t been overspending. It has been under taxing the rich.
Because that's and endless fountain of money for anything and everything - just keep raising taxes, and we can have everything! No need for fiscal discipline, or to make choices, just take it from those who earned it. That'll work out well over the long run.
Well the really rich got their tax cut. The rest of us, not so much. Why carry water for a billionaire who could give a rat's @ss about you? Same color != same wallet.
Equally, why should someone who earned money transfer it to you through taxes? Pay your own way.

please remember all those loopholes in the tax code exist for a reason. why aren’t you demanding reform from your congressional reps?

In theory yes. I’ve had two family members die in hospice and my experience is that it’s a hair breadth away from euthanasia. Basically the ER doctors will suggest a discharge to hospice rather than any sort of aggresssjvr care. Hospice will then take them off all the medications that keep them gojng. Hospice will then recommend the HAM sandwich — haldol, morphine and Ativan — to keep the patient calm. They will gtadually increase the dosage on that. What elderly person is going to survive that combination? I’m not complaining, I’m just saying that there is more room for euthanasia than most people think.
This is a little off-topic, but yes, this is basically what happens and not only to the elderly. My 40-year-old sister was dying of cancer and when he just couldn't stand it anymore, her live-in boyfriend called the hospice nurse one morning to administer the "emergency pack," which is exactly what the PP described above. My parents were planning to come to see her the next day, but hospice and boyfriend made the decision to end her life without any other family members. Fortunately, I arrived to be with her for her last breath while the boyfriend was vaccuuming the apartment and hospice nurse had gone home.

Medicare doesn’t pay for nursing homes.
So how do people pay for nursing homes? It's very expensive
Private pay, family, long term care Medicaid.

71 is very young to be in a nursing home. She is not elderly. I am assuming she is otherwise disabled, as opposed to being elderly, so that is likely what will impact her status.
Elderly is a medical concept in this context and 65 is the age one is considered by medical professionals to be sadly elderly. If you make it to 75+ that’s late elderly. Many Americans have serious health conditions by the time they are early to mid 60s which is why mid 70s is the average age life expectancy for Americans. The better educated and wealthier tend to live much longer because they didn’t do a lifetime of body crushing work and they had easier access to preventive health care and high quality diet etc.
Not sadly elderly, EARLY elderly
Hate the autocorrect 🤬
A 40 year old would call that elderly, but it isn't accurate.

It is very rare to see a lot of people in their 60s and early 70s in a nursing home. It is an anomaly if there are some, a problem that likely has been around long term or has a specific situation. I don't care what or how cultural labels came to be, but 71 is not elderly in the sense if requiring a nursing home.

Each state is free to handle the cuts to Medicaid funding how they see fit. So, no one can say what each state will do yet.
