I doubt the level of fraud in medicare is 50%. And he and if it is, it’s not all in the 11% drug costs. I’m not suggesting he’s engaging in cynical flip flopping, or flip flopping for political gain. I fear he doesn’t know these things, and that his lack of knowledge is no impediment to his mouth. Whether his about faces are politically motivated or sincere correction of the record/his opinions is irrelevant. I suspect the latter, but it’s a terrible weakness for the office of President. He needs to fix it. Solutions for serious problems should be defensible on the facts, and not subject to finding out “fine is not so fine after all” in a matter of days. I know he’s going the have the finest and best advisors around, time to pick some economic advisors, sit down, listen and do his homework.

I said waste, fraud, and abuse, not fraud alone, and Ill bet those three things account for over 50%.

I find that refreshing. He is not reading carefully focus-grouped political brain barf off a teleprompter. He is speaking to us, and that is something no politician scumbag has done for donkeys years.
I agree: I dont think he had seen the figures on Medicare. However, when somebody takes him aside and gives him the facts, there is a chance he will come down on the right side of it. He has in past cases. None of his opponents will do *anything* that actually should be done.

I strongly disagree. In the one instance he is dishonest, in the other honest, and further growth can be expected. That is what I am betting on, and hoping for.
but its a terrible weakness for the office of President.
Again, I strongly disagree. The terrible weakness among these candidates is being members of our depraved, despicable, criminal political class. All the other candidatesall of themare loathsome, despicable, backstabbing, immoral filth.

Hey, this is probably the first time in his life he has heard anyone other than the left wing of our political class talk about issues, and he probably only listened to them with half his attention. Hell be up to speed before the inauguration.
I know hes going to have the finest and best advisors around, time to pick some economic advisors, sit down, listen and do his homework.
Thats right, and since thats the only chance our republic has to survive, lets pray that he is elected and does just as you say.
