Would you like to cut Medicare benefits in order to save tax increases for the wealthy? Or would you rather increase taxes on the wealthy in order to save Medicare?

Duh.

It is a No Brainer and the Republicans will feel the pain of voters in 2012.

Medicare should have never been created. Votes won't matter if we, as a nation, no longer exist. Bankruptcy usually means an end to countries. Examples: USSR, Yugoslavia and the Roman empire.

The OP is engaging in a typical Obamanian "Faux Choice" scenario.

Jimmy, maybe you missed it...Obamacare?

Rather than increasing quality of America’s health care, it duns Medicare by some $575 billion, reducing rather than increasing its viability and services it can offer.

That reduction in the funding for Medicare is fifteen (15) times the amount the Party of Dependency would agree to cutting from the Obama budget.

Care to comment now?

The public overwhelmingly wants spending reductions:

Not that they’re cheering. Fewer people expect refunds this year than in previous years, a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows. But as Monday’s filing deadline approaches, the poll shows that 54 percent believe their tax bills are either somewhat fair or very fair, compared with 46 percent who say they are unfair.

Should taxes be raised to eat into huge federal deficits? Among the public, 62 percent say they favor cutting government services to sop up the red ink. Just 29 percent say raise taxes.

AP poll shows 6 in 10 Americans want spending cuts, not tax hikes « Hot Air

Yes, the public wants budget cuts, and deep. But when cuts for programs that help the poor and middle class are offset with tax cuts for the wealthy, the GOP has a problem. The Dems will drive it home in 2012.

Re-elect the repubs so they can give more tax breaks to their wealthy friends, while we cut billions from the lower and middle class programs. They GOP has chosen their ditch to die in...

 

[boedicca]

Obama is lying. The Ryan plan keeps benefits in place for current recipients, and phases in changes over time.

Considering that the 2010 Financial Report of the United States (done with proper accrual accounting) shows Social Insurance programs having a cumulative net present value of negative $30T, these programs are already technically insolvent.

We can either reform them now in an orderly manner, or wait for the system to collapse entirely.

Now, which scenario would be less disruptive to The Poor?

 

[Lumpy 1]

Yup.. vote Democrat and wear rose colored glasses.. that's the answer..

1.6 trillion dollar budget deficits... we can do that forever..no problem...

How the fuck do you equate not robbing someone with cutting benefits to people who never provided for themselves? You sound sick.

We will see just what we will see in 2012, old sport. 88

Do you ever get tired of repeating the same mantra again and again? Saying it more than once doesn't make it true.

BTW no one gets rewarded when taxes are cut. It's their money to begin with. Am I rewarding you by not barging into your home and kicking you out only to give you a tent to sleep in?

Funny thing is, Obama's so called plan actually cuts Medicare and punishes the wealthy, the worst of bot worlds.

 

[JimH52]

The choice will be, re-elect the republicans and expect more gifts for the wealthy, or the Dems who will cut medicare and return the wealthy to rhie rightful tax rate. If we need to bleed, we need to bleed together. Why should the wealthy get a break while we see social programs cut.

It is going to resonate. But you sheep keep telling yourselves that the GOP has your best interest in mind. They don't, unless of course, you earn more than $250,000 a year.

The GOP wants only the poor and middle class the feel the necessary pain, while the rich walk away with a tax break. How is that fair?

Are you talking about the $3.7 trillion Bush tax cut extension? The one where, according to the White House and Democrats in Congress, $3 trillion goes to everyone who is not rich?

Medicare is needed. The elderly should not have to deal with insurance providers out in the public. To throw grandma into that mess is wrong.

Think about the issue for once instead of relying on typical liberal emotion Bogie. Obama's 3,000 page law already cut Medicare. The so-called health care law even mandates taxpayer dollars for abortions so why in hell do we need to fund "Planned Parenthood"? The simple answer is that democrats don't give a damn about the future of the Country. They are only interested in funding their criminal base with money extorted from taxpayers.

Why exactly should they be exempt from dealing with the real world?
