We do need to reform Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security, because right now both have massive unfunded liabilities; however, Dear Leader doesn't intend to reform them, he intends to raid them a la the Kirchners in Argentina, to continue funding his crypto-soviet power grab, and he wants to do so on the backs of the elderly:

Who knows, sooner or later, the Democrats will start going after the veterinarians who treat the family dog:

(After all, the eco-freaks already want to kill off family pets because of their carbon paw-prints).

Like the gun poster. Then again I like guns, I'm an abnormal woman I guess...if you listen to the libs. Took my CCW test while running a temp, 2 broken toes and blurred vision from not having trifocal lenses in my glasses, passed it just fine.

Expanding support for families balancing work with caring for elderly relatives with a $102.5 million Caregiver Initiative adding $52.5 million in funding to Department of Health and Human Services caregiver support programs that provide temporary respite care, counseling, training, and referrals to critical services. The administration says the extra funding will allow nearly 200,000 additional caregivers to be served and 3 million more hours of respite care to be provided. It also adds $50 million to programs that provide transportation help, adult day care, and in-home services, such as aides to help seniors bathe and cook, help which eases the burden for family members and helps seniors stay in their homes.

We wouldn't need this IF he was whacking Medicare $500 Billion.
