In under 2 years we have gone from the hopes of Single Payer to Cutting Medicare Benefits?

[Ruby the Liberal]

So, this administration wants to run 6 unfunded wars (Iraq, Vietganistan, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, Sudan) and pay for them on the backs of our most vulnerable citizens - our seniors.

Just how much is someone 65/66 going to have to pay for the 'mandated' medical insurance coming in 2014? Add to that, if they aren't working and can't get into a group plan? Another giveaway to the insurance cabal right there.

If Medicare is struggling, why not raise the amount we are paying into it? Yes, we are living longer, so fine. Up the entrance fee.

Where are our priorities as a nation? The mere thought of this has me grinding my teeth in anger.

I am sure that these trial balloons are being launched by the administration on purpose to try to back Republicans into a corner, but it is going to backfire on them HUGE. They underestimate the stupidity of the masses.

All of those idiot teabaggers with their "keep the government out of my Medicare" signs are going to hang a cut in Medicare around the collective Democratic neck for a generation while the Republicans claim they tried to 'stop it'.
