Is GOP Finally Going To Screw The Disabled, & The Elderly On Medicare?

[Procrustes Stretched]

Yes, I think so. "Every year since 2003 ( all Bush/Cheney years, except 2), Congress has deferred" cuts "with backing from Democrats and Republicans" Cuts which were supposed to happen "because of a decade-old formula set up by Congress to slow the growth of Medicare."

Passing the buck all these years to save Bush/Cheney's asses, and now screwing the elderly and disabled when they need help the most. I think this is what the GOP will do.

Which screws the Elderly more?

Making them false promises of support when we don't have the money and refusing to make adjustments until we have no money and they have to drop dead because of that?

Being honest with the fact that we don't have money and encouraging people to make alternative means of taking care of themselves?

You make these problems by lying to people amd somehow we are the uncompassionate people.

Obamacare passed as a deficit reducing bill because it assumed the doc fix would not pass, and Obama refused to sign it unless it reduced the deficit, and cost under 1 trillion dollars. The Republicans take him at his word, and work with him to reduce the deficit, and get attacked for cooperating with POTUS and helping him keep his promises.

Will the Left ever be happy? They are getting what they wanted, and are crying about it anyway. Does anyone not think this a new low for partisanship?

 

[LibocalypseNow]

GOP control the White House? GOP control Congress? Your Socialist/Progressive Democrats have already completely sunk many future generations. So I seriously doubt the GOP can make things any worse. Talk about passing the buck? Yikes!

Screwing the elderly and disabled is a GOP family value. Before FDR, and after, the GOP always wanted to throw the elderly and disabled under the bus.

don't take my word for it, look at their votes in Congress and the GOP Presidents who fought Medicare. What was life like for the elderly and disabled in America before liberals gave them a safety net?

Keep plying the part line, and ignoring the facts. Obama is responsible for this because he lied to everyone, and is blaming the Republicans in the hopes that all the Obamazombies will line up behind him. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid

Nope, the GOP passed the buck for Bush for 8 years. Now they want to make Obama look bad and are willing to see elderly and disabled killed to do so.

Read the OP. For 8 years the GOP passed the buck to keep Bush from being blamed for doing what they all wanted to do...cut Medicare..

Obama Urges Congress to Avert Medicare Pay Cuts

Newsflash:

According to Obama both parties are responsible for this.

Since 2003, Congress has acted to prevent these pay cuts from going into effect. These votes were largely bipartisan, and they succeeded when Democrats ran Congress and when Republicans ran Congress – which was most of the time.
This year, a majority of Congress is willing to prevent a pay cut of 21% — a pay cut that would undoubtedly force some doctors to stop seeing Medicare patients altogether. But this time, some Senate Republicans may even block a vote on this issue. After years of voting to defer these cuts, the other party is now willing to walk away from the needs of our doctors and our seniors.
​

The real issue here is not that this has been done since 2003, by both Democrats and Republicans, the real issue is that Obamacare passed as a deficit reduction bill based on the assumption that these cuts would no longer be postponed. Now Obama is begging Congress to ignore what he said at the beginning of the year, and delaythe cuts, thus further wrecking the budget.

Keep drinking the Kool-Aid, it is good for you.

Elderly? Before FDR saved the world the average life expectancy was 30 (and continuing to decrease due to the growth of large factories and slave wages).

What will it be like when there's no money left to pay out? The Big 0 successfully mortgaged the future of the next two generations after Bush picked the pockets of this one. The only bi-partisan agreement to come out of Washjington is to screw the people and steal as much as you can before you're indicted.

clue: I posted the link. I know what Obama said.

What I am saying is in a different context. The GOP will try to cut medicare under Obama, after putting off for 8 years under bush, their desire to do so,

What are you talking about? If it required only a simple majority to use the bathroom, the Republicans would all be wetting their pants. They couldn't pass a chili dog if you spotted them some laxative.

How is it that the GOP can do this? They don't have the power to stop anything. Are you the type that blames the victim for being a victim or do you blame the bad guy?

Pay attention. What I posted was that the GOP put off cuts to Medicare for 5/6 years under Bush (every year since 2003, Congress has deferred the cuts...he result of a decade-old formula set up by Congress to slow the growth of Medicare) by voting to put it off.

Wait until you and America gets the bill for obama care. If you think the GOP is tring to cut benifits from the elderly you haven't seen nothing yet.
