>>>We're going to Privatize Social Security next...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.
"This Medicare PDP is a boondoggle for BIG GOVERNMENT, drug companies and financially secure seniors. It will not lead to privatization of Medicare."
Why do you feel compelled to embellish in order to make your case?
There are no fewer than 6 Privatization options in this Medicare Reform law. There is private competition all over this Act, and there's even an additional tax cut (you can now use pre-tax dollars for your Medical Savings Accounts) in it.
You can complain about the cost, that's fine, but there is no need to go into hyperbole just because you don't like what has happened.
The *law* specifies more than half a dozen Privatization options. It's law. That's a fact. Get used to it.
