Sorry, hungry. Pointless to debate a pointless point.

Sorry but it is completely on point. You sated that people on Medicare were getting "free" medical care at taxpayer expense and yet you state that, when eligible, you will collect, at taxpayer expense, Medicare since your retirement plan demands it. By your own words, you have admitted that those you implied were leeches will soon have one more member.....you.

Good, well-worded, very sincere section on Iraq.

No, they get it free through Medicaid, and some get it through Medicare for specific reasons. I'm not talking about retired people here, unless you are on Medicaid. What I was responding to was a comment that to those in the zero tax bracket a zero tax break had no meaning. And I agreed, it would have no meaning; however, those in the zero tax bracket get Medicaid (free health insurance paid by the state), and in some specific circumstances, some get it via Medicare. But the point I was making eluded you because you had a different agenda. You wanted to play gotcha. But, just for you, let's drop Medicare. I'll do fine, how about you?
