Based on the lack of response to your post it doesn't look like even here on FR there are many who want to take a look behind the curtain.

I would consider the lack of response as being due to the fact that we all agree and have nothing more to add. The post pretty well covered it.

one of only a few Freepers who "get it"!

I don't know what you are talking about. Darn near all the FReepers I have seen 'get it'. Along with everyone at the teaparties.

As much as I would hate to give the commie in the WH any credit for anything, I would give it to him for taking on the Medicare problem

Look again and save your 'credit'. His goal is not and never has been to 'take on the Medicare problem'. He is deliberately trying to bankrupt it! His whole goal IS to bankrupt the system so it can be replaced but a MORE socialist system. He is going to get more and more people on the various doles until they fall apart. Then in infinite wisdom and compassion the Dems will sweep in to 'fix' things again when the break more. Once again they will blame the problem on the private elements remaining in the system and 'fix' it by removing even more of those. Don't give him credit for anything. They made the problem, and they are making it worse so they can 'get credit' for 'fixing it' again and again.

What they are doing is NOT an accident and it is NOT compassion and it is CERTAINLY NOT taking on tough problems to try and fix them. They thing the private sector IS the problem and removing that is what they are trying to fix. All of these tactics were laid out by socialists half a century ago. Don't fall for them now by giving him ANY credit for ANYTHING.

You'll pardon me for disagreeing. If what you say is true, Freepers in particular, being a conservative bunch generally, would be all over the need to scrap Medicare or at least phase it out. I've seen very few willing to even address the problem at all. My sense is there are too many people along for the ride who can't get off before the Medicare train wreck.

And I have no illusions about giving anybody credit, least of all the commie in the WH. You also pretty much made my point that their goal is to take the problem they created back in the 60's with Medicare in particular, and create an even bigger problem with even more feral government intrusion.
