Just do it.
Obama made a conscious choice: heavily subsidized health insurance that overwhelmingly benefits African-Americans vs. continuing the subsidies for Medicare Advantage that were existing law prior to 2010.
Obama chose "his people" over old white people.
For him, it was a very easy decision.
Government - It's so perfect and infallible you can't even sue it.
Yep!
Also, it’s time for us to take off the rose colored glasses when it comes to pubbie 10-year plans for the budget. Ryan’s proposal is as much hogwash as the dhimmicraps having no budget.
No Congress can bind the actions of a future Congress. All the pie-in-the-sky, feel-good platitudes to the contrary notwithstanding, there is nothing in the legislative history of this nation over the last 120 years that should lead anyone to believe differently.
Congress must focus on the things they can actually do! Balance the budget. It’s going to hurt, but do it anyway.
Get fedgov back within the confines of the Constitution. It’s going to hurt, but do it anyway.
Just sayin’
Democrats are, in other words, abiding by Thornells most urgent piece of advice: Dont let yourself get kicked in the face. Youve gotta Kick some face!”
(think of a hobnailed boot stomping on a human face,
forever...)
2012 proved to me:
It doesn’t matter who votes, it only matters who counts the votes.
My older relatives do not think of the ACA death panels but the fact that the ACA closed the donut hole. They both have expensive meds. Seems the act has a little bit of goodies for every group to justify not rocking the boat.
It’s not just old white people. He’s attacking TriCare too.
> The party has traditionally had trouble with older voters, losing the group aged 65 and over by 21 points in 2010 when Republicans picked up 63 seats — and by 12 points in the 2012 presidential race.
During the interval from 2010 to 2012, many of them died of old age or death panels. Thanks Libloather.
“Democrats are facing a senior problem that could get even worse this year”
Yeh, now that they are trying to kill them with O’Care.
This may be a dumb question, but why would you P.O. seniors many of whom are vets, with certain skill sets, and don’t figure they have long to go anyway? Just how smart is that?
Good point. Here's a warning for the GOP:
IF ONE MEMBER of the GOP votes for this mess the PRESS will forever run that person's name and the 'R' next to it to scare old people. The press and democrats work hand in hand... If it's EVERY democrat and ONE Republican the MSM will present it as an equivalent.
Don't vote for this... please...
What??? If Franklin D. Roosevelt saw this story, he'd be rolling over in his grave! It was he who once confided that (the then brand new) "Social Security" program will have the elderly voting Democratic forever.
The medicare Advantage stuff was one of many reasons Jolly won in Florida... There was one bigger reason but dems haven’t figured it out yet.
They have a problem with the race and ethnicity of seniors.
Americans over age 65 are overwhelmingly white.
And they vote very much like younger white people vote - 55% to 60% for Republicans.
The only reason so many seniors voted Republican in 2010 was because large numbers of non-white seniors stayed home.
If the Democrats can figure out how to get their non-white voting base to the polls in 2014, Republicans will not win the Senate, and they will lose a couple seats in the House.
:’) A big part of my family (all gone now) were in the “No 3rd Term” and “No 4th Term” demographic (and 1st gen Americans).
If Madeline Dunham the old Granny was still alive she would slap naughty little Barry silly,,
No one wants to renege on providing support for our aged. Its the hallmark of a decent society. They are our most vulnerable.
