"Are you a self confessed Bush Bot? Are you criticizing him now? Where are his rabid supporters on this."

His point is that there are no "rabid supporters" on FR for expanding Government spending. Even the (few) supporters of this bill mainly support it because of the conservative reform elements in it. Others like me, support those elements but on balance dont think they justify this expansion of spending.

Government spends too much, taxes too much, and regulates too much already.

You'll need to find another website if you want to debate rabid supporters of the prescription drug benefit.
Maybe AARP has a board. LOL.

I talked to a senior last week who was against this bill. He said that in addition to their Medicare premium, all SS recipients will have to pay an extra $35 a month. He said his medicine bill is from $200 to $250 a year. Therefore, he will not receive any benefits as he will have to pay for his own medicine plus the $35/mo. To receive benefits, the expense of the medicine must be much higher.

One of us has misunderstood him and if it was me, I apologize.

In any case, Bush has rabid supporters and defend anything that he does, regardless of constitutionality or principle. My point initially was that those 'bots' were not defending it, nor were they criticizing. I was wrong. Some of them have come out of the woodwork to defend even this.

It's disappointing.
