| 21. With our majority, we should not have to cut Medicare and Medicaid. |  |
 |
Methinks Obama and Orszag have been listening to Zeke Emanuel too muchWe could do it without cutting those programs. But the agenda for years has been to get rid of Medicare. Sadly. If they cut Medicare payments again, our party will lose in 2010 and 2012. Seniors will not tolerate it.

 Tired of hearing we "don't have the votes." Yes, we do have the votes to pass the Democratic agenda. |
