The Senate this week voted to keep $400-500 billion dollars in Medicare cuts in the trillion dollar Health Bill. It's pretty obvious who the Congress infested leftist ideologues want to take away from to "redistribute the wealth and health". Seniors who have contributed to Medicare for most of their working careers and anticipated fair coverage in retirement have now had been betrayed by a Senate that is pushing a plan every legitimate poll says the country doesn't want and a President who waved his finger at us and told seniors and the nation recently "Medicare would not be cut by one penny." Those of you who are selectively short of memory might remember the "liar in chief" also said that the half billion was going to be made up by reducing fraud and corruption in healthcare and not on the backs of those who need health care the most.....seniors......remember?
I guess it's kind of a Clintonesque play on words. You surely recall, "It depends on what the meaning of "is" is." Obama was technically correct......the Senate did not cut one penny. How many pennies in $500 billion?
