36. Seniors Aren't Stupid

Fri Sep 21, 2012, 07:47 PM

Sep 2012

There is an assumption that senior citizens only care about THEIR medicare. This is not accurate. These people know that there grandkids now will be able to stay on their parents policy until they are 26, they know that their sons and daughters won't be denied health care do to "Pre-existing conditions", and they know that nt a dime of the $700 million medicare cuts were taken from their benefits.

This country has never been "center left" as the bull shit Faux News talking point would like people to believe. Americans want fairness and a balance of capitalism with government acting as an umpire. Seniors citizens have seen a lot more in their life time than "Skippy Ryan" and they know a PHONY when they see one.
