    Medicare Cuts: It's Still Not Enough!

    By The Decider on Mon, 04/04/2011 - 5:30pm |

    Representative Paul Ryan is in the news today saying that the Democrat offers to cut Medicare aren't enough: he wants to abolish the whole program. Medicaid too. He thinks that makes him all conservative. I say, it's STILL NOT ENOUGH! We also need to make those old pikers pay back the money that the government's given them. And while we're at it, make employees pay back those employers contributions that companies have been extorted into giving. That will really stimulate the economy! God bless America! (and go get 'em Huskies)

    And we must lower taxes for bigger corporations too.

    GE paid nothing last year. If the law were changed, they would get more money back to create jobs and finance more repubs for reelection!

    What a country!

    Get the Vets too. There is an 86 year old guy on my street who just got FREE VA hearing aids just because his hearing is totally gone, seems it got damaged from explosions, fightin' Nazi's in Italy with the 10th Mountain, you know Bob Dole's unit. Why free? Can't the GOP bid out this stuff on contract, give a Vet Voucher, or let troops have special savings accounts? If he had put away $10 in 1944 think what it would be worth now!

    Yeah. What war has he fought for us lately?  Shouldn't he be in Afghanistan?

    We are working on a new, super-secret plan to create drone airplanes, ships, and soldiers that can all be flown by humans sitting in a safe office building (got the idea from Avatar, heh, heh!). That way, Vets won't get injured and won't need those benefits. We just need to pony up and pay the money for our defensive contractors to build this new weaponry!!
