They literally talk about cutting Social Security and Medicare...
Yes they do, but again, no talk about cutting benefits.
WHAT? Do you think they are going to cut the deficit by increasing Social Security and Medicare?
I didn't say increasing them, I said no cuts to them.
Holy shit. So you expect them to somehow lower the deficit through Social Security and Medicare WITHOUT lowering them?
...and for your next act you are going to pull a rabbit out of your ass.
Do you really think our government programs are run 100% efficiently? Do you really think there are not better and more efficient ways to conduct these programs? Do you really believe that we don't have scammers ripping off these programs?
If you are not on SS or Medicare, it's likely you are related to somebody that is. It may be your parents or grandparents. Do you really think that the Republicans would screw our elderly so badly as to lose every vote in the coming elections? Think they would give the Democrats such fodder for the next presidential election?
Instead of allowing the media to think for you, it's better to wait until the Republicans tell us what their plans are. The media is trying to sell newspapers, get you to tune into their news stations, or get you to go to their web sites.
