When is Washington going to get real and cut medicare?

Its going to happen in the next 10-15 yrs so why not do it now? Its either cut medicare or cut social security. I personally believe it would be more detrimental to cut social security than medicare.

Medicare SC (% of budget)
2005 13% 21%
2010 17% 21%
2015 20% 23%

It is impossible to remain a strong country when half (and then more) the money is spent on the people that produce the least. As bad as that sounds its truth.
