Actually dying slowly from old age with one body organ slowly failing after another is far more expensive since 70 cents out of every one dollar spent on medical costs inside the USA are spent on those people who are over age 70.. In fact the longer we all live the higher the pension costs, health care costs and nursing home costs go because the more years those items have to be paid for if the person is healthy and lives longer.. So the people who volunteer to die 5 years younger on average because they smoke are actually saving us money on those 5 years of social security costs, pension costs and old age nursing home costs by their dying at a younger age. By smokers dying younger it also crates more job openings, which helps to lower unemployment costs. If everyone died by age 60 there would be no unemployment and no pension or social security costs.]]>Apr 15th 2009 6:41AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/04/14/gps-device-helps-save-fallen-rock-climber/http://www.switched.com/2009/04/14/gps-device-helps-save-fallen-rock-climber/Apr 15th 2009 10:37AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/04/14/gps-device-helps-save-fallen-rock-climber/http://www.switched.com/2009/04/14/gps-device-helps-save-fallen-rock-climber/Apr 15th 2009 10:40AM
