Then you must be young. :-) But seriously, means testing really annoys me because it's just another breach of faith from what the forced program was intended. They took my money for most of my life with the promise I'd see some of it back when I couldn't work. Now, because I worked hard and saved too, they're going to punish me? You expect conservatives to run on means testing? Good luck future and present minority party. By the way, what IS the conservative agenda on medicare? Are you going to tell grandma that she really doesn't NEED that heart medicine because she still owns her own trailer? Good platform, that's a real winner. ;-)
Guilty.
I'm really sorry that your govenment over promised you and didn't come clean about it.
We are nearing 70 trillion in debt (including unfunded liabilities). Either taxes need to double or we need to reign in entitlements. Or we can just ignore the problem, win elections and wait for the bill to come due. Whoever is in office at that time goes the way of the Whigs.
For me it's quickly becoming not about Left vs. Right but Truth vs. Lies - and right now, almost everyone is lying.
