"Exaggeration? Not my numbers, those are estimates exactly 3 years beyond the original ten year program= 1.3 trill-2 trillion."

Why do you continue to exaggerate the numbers?

This legislation authorizes $39.5 Billion per year for ten years. Any additional funds will require ADDITONAL legislation.

If you want to attack that additional legislation, please feel free to do so, should such legislation ever be proposed.

But if you want to stick to the debate on this Medicare reform legislation, then please stick to the facts at hand.

Based on the historical evidence at hand, the expansion of this program is easily foreseeable. How many entitlement programs have decreased in size/scope over time?

It sounds nice to tell people they should wait and complain if/when the time comes, but the reality is that it's at this time that we've ceded the argument to the liberals. All that remains is bickering about the proper size of this program, and any reasonable person will agree that the bickering will only consist of how much to expand it.

Are there any more spending programs that the left are clamoring for that we should be aware of?
