And if the waste and abuse are so well KNOWN...professed by Obama and Nancy so what other validation is needed? Then why is there no effort being dictated to go after the so called KNOWN waste and abuse?
With the KNOWN facts there is no way health care reform is deficit neutral. There is no way there will be any savings from any where.....remember the $100,000,000 in budget cuts Obama asked to be made for the new budget. Not only did he not get the asked for cuts, those he asked did not even comply by the date he stated he wanted the savings? The end result.....right....NOTHING!
Does anybody really believe politicians are going to cut any of their favorite programs for the benefit of we the people? There is no way there will ever be a cut in spending by Washington lawmakers......all one has to do is check out the track record.
The health care reform may leave Medicare alone for a couple of years but when all gets said and done the funding is going to have to come from some where. Tax hikes or cuts in services....it is inevitable for all parties alike.
So just keep drinking of the kool aid.

And where is the $10 billion a month we've been spending the last 8 years fighting a losing battle in Iraq and Afghanistan going to come from. Oh that's right the war's going to pay for itself! The kool aid drinking started 8 1/2 years ago.
And don't forget to cut up your VA Medical and Medicare cards, you don't want to participate in some socialist medical program.
