Bush’s drug program kept government smaller than it would otherwise have been - paying for medical complications. We’re stuck with Medicare, might as well implement win-wins when you can. Romney understands this. Romney’s biggest win-win will be lowering the tax rates and broadening the base by eliminating deductions for the rich - something David Brooks has been advocating for some time. Ironically Romney will raise taxes on the rich - the biggest thing Obama has failed to do. We’re gonna pay for this thing now and not put it upon our children with interest later.
You are one of the few people I’ve seen that understands the free market aspects of Pres Bush’s prescription drug program.
