The inconvenient truth for Republicans is that our national boat would be sinking without Medicare. And Obamacare will be equally necessary. And that Republicans have fought tooth and nail against both. And deservedly lost.
The lies from the left never step.
Medicare is bankrupt and insolvent (Obama's entire case for Obamacare was because the federal government could no longer afford their healthcare entitlements.
Our national boat is sinking
because of Medicare. We're $17 trillion in debt. Which part of that do you not understand - the
trillion or the
debt?
Here's what I understand.
Bush had a golden opportunity to get us completely out of debt. He chose not to.
Instead, he launched several absolutely unaffordable policies. His holy wars. His weath redistribution tax cuts. His over-stimulation of the economy. His refusal to regulate mortgage backed derivatives. The resulting Great Recession. His Medicare part D.
ThatÂ’s the complete story of our current debt. His choice between zero and $17T.
SS and Medicare both have surpluses that are invested in US Treasury bonds as required by law.
Despite their dismal financial results Republicans at every opportunity waste billions shutting down the government.
Now, they want to waste more billions undoing the only progress made in solving our worst in the world, completely uncompetitive health care non-system.
We can, in no way, afford conservatism. It's the most expensive political philosophy in the world, a fact that conservatives are unable to even process.
But the electorate has caught on. And democracy will solve the problem.
