CANTOR: Dear Young People, WE'RE GOING TO SLASH YOUR MEDICARE

Its time to start shouting for Single Payer HC.




" Republicans' pledge to never raise taxes will take precedence over the government's pledge to provide retirees with health care and pension, according to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. And we'll see evidence of this, he hinted, if and when the House of Representatives refuses to pass future deficit reduction legislation if it calls for bringing new tax revenue into the Treasury.



In a meeting with editors of the Wall Street Journal, Cantor said Americans must "come to grips with the fact that promises have been made that frankly are not going to be kept for many."



The Republican plan for dealing with the exploding cost of health care is to phase out Medicare and replace it with a system of subsidized private insurance for elderly Americans, starting when people currently 55 and under reach retirement age. "The rest of us have got ample time to try and plan our lives so that we can adjust to reality here when you look at the numbers," Cantor said. "Again the math doesn't lie."



Democrats tend to favor Medicare reforms that enhance efficiency, and curtail ineffective health treatments -- basically for the government, advised by experts, to ration health care rather than to have private insurance companies do it. Eventually, before health care costs overwhelm the budget, one of these two visions will prevail. But the government can buy itself some time if it decides to raise taxes. Cantor says that won't happen as long as Republicans control the House -- even if a powerful new deficit reduction committee reaches a bipartisan agreement that includes some new tax revenue.



"The House is not going to support an increase in taxes," he said.

1. He is beyond awful. Must be disappointed that his short on the U.S. didn't pan

out. Yet.

He's still working to make it happen though.

[sakabatou]

2. Hey Cantor

Why don't you live on minimum wage. Come back to us when you do for several years.

[michaz]

3. And who could possibly think anyone could "compromise" with this idiot and his "bunch" of fools? n/

[katnapped]

4. Hey Cantor

Why don't you go fuck yourself?

I'll gladly send the broom and you can figure out what to do with it.

[tularetom]

5. To me there is nobody higher on the repulse-o-meter scale

Than this slimy piece of dog shit.

[one_voice]

6. What these fucktards don't understand...

is SS and Medicare are some folks only salvation when they retire. They don't make enough to save..this is a way for them to save and they want to take it.

Fucktard Cantor doesn't get to sit there with his cushy job, the best benefits and retirement plan and tell others oh sorry but fuck you. Who his he to say if you're under 55 you'll be able to adjust? You guys have fucked up the country to the point people are living hand to mouth..and what about people that have been working since they were 18..now they're 48 where's the money from 30 years of paying into the system? Oh we're supposed to swallow that shit to?

FUCK YOU CANTOR FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU CANTOR FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU CANTOR FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU CANTOR FUCK YOU FUCK YOUFUCK YOU CANTOR FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

[katnapped]

8. They understand

They just don't care!

[dana_b]

9. exactly - they are QUITE aware

that many, many of us will die quicker. Grayson was 100% correct.

[Segami]

11. Their strategy is to ' starve the beast '. The Beast being Social Security, Medicare and

all other government aid programs. That will free up more funds to wage their criminal corporate false flag WARS. People need to rise up and start pushing back against these neoslugs or all will be lost in the blink of an eye.

[Cool Logic]

7. Slash...?

I don't know any young people who believe Medicare will exist by the time they get there.

[BiggJawn]

10. "The rest of us have got ample time ..."

Ample time to WHAT??? Hoard barbituates so we can take our final bow when we're too old and sick to work anymore?

Oh, Cantor's such an ass. Mutherfucker was born on home plate and thinks he knocked a Home Run.

"the math doesn't lie" Oh, bullshit. Like richboi thinks we've never heard of "cooking numbers"?
