If the "privatization" includes a 40% budget increase, you're right. I know we've discussed this at length so there's probably little to be gained by going over old territory, the "privatization" piece in this bill is a myth. Six metro areas beginning in 2010? Please.
If Medicare becomes privatized, it'll defy the course of every entitlement program in history.
You're getting way ahead of yourself and engaging in wishful thinking.
>>>... the whining about Privatizing Medicare from shills around here will more than double when that process starts.
I'm happy to be a conservative spokesman for less spending, smaller government and tax cuts. It's called being fiscally responsible.
You support the GOP plan to increase spending by the federal government to the tune of $400 billion, in unfunded mandates. Thats gambling with the economic future of America and makes you a BIG GOVERNMENT shill.
This Medicare PDP is a boondoggle for BIG GOVERNMENT, drug companies and financially secure seniors. It will not lead to privatization of Medicare. It will lead to more and more spending by the federal governemnt. PresBush won't have to worry about the fall out either. He'll be long out of office when the bill comes due for this new entitlement program.
