That impoverished grandmother forced to eat Whiskas tuna because of her high prescription drug bills may exist somewhere --- but she is a very rare case.
Now if Cynthia would keep addressing the democRAT's scare tatics and lying to the American people, we may make headway. Unfortunately, my Dad is in the group with Cynthia's mother and believes in handouts from "Uncle Sugar".
Some would say that she shows just how bad a newspaper the AJC has become.
Well... it is, of course, ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS that consume around 30% of our get well financial effort. Most of them, of course, mandated and demagogued by our generally corrupt state and federal elected representatives.
What happened to children being responsible for their elderly parents? I love it when the socialists get into arguments amongst themselves about how to redistrbute our earned money.
Cynthia makes several good points about the elderly, but then proceeds to squander them in the end. The simplest way to increase the money available to children is to quit taxing the bejabbers out of young parents.
There is no doubt that the cost of prescription drugs has escalated sharply, squeezing the budgets of Americans of all ages. But the Senate's mawkish concern for the elderly has less to do with their finances and more to do with their political clout: Senior citizens are the nation's most reliable bloc of voters.
Oh, this is way too funny. Cynthia Tucker is doing a better job of articulating a conservative position on prescription drug benefits for seniors than President Bush and the GOP Senate did with their $320 billion boondoggle.
I'd love to hear the "We're taking the Democrats' issues away!" crowd spin this.
No. What this nation needs is millions of younger voters screaming at the top of their lungs, telling the bleepin geezers that enough is enough; it's OUR freekin money, not theirs. Until enough people vote to put a stop to it, the Socialist Generation will continue to take and take and take. I really can't imagine what goes through the mind of a person who actually votes to force other people to pay his way. I will die before I ever allow myself to be that way.
Well, we already have testimony from El Loco Poco Ricardo Gephardt that his mother awaits anxiously her prescription drug benefit.
Don't know if she can't afford both prescriptions AND dog food, but El Loco Poco has made it plain that his mother beats on him daily for her prescription drugs.
St Louisans, you must be proud of your representative who loves his mama so much that he's gonna pass a LAW so she can have both her dog food and her prescription drugs.
