A++++
I had an opposite experience, chatting with a 70-something gentleman at my health club. He said that Ryan scares him, and went on to say how much he loves Medicare. I tried to explain how Medicare will go bankrupt if nothing is done. He replied that (none other than) Al Gore said that all we have to do is raise the gasoline tax a dime a gallon and we could fund Medicare forever. I said, “Why don’t we raise it a buck a gallon and eliminate world hunger?” The fact that nobody 55 or older would be affected by changes in Medicare is lost on him as well.
well there will always be the irredeemably moronic, i guess. at least that guy is safely in NJ which isn’t likely to go for Mitt, not that there aren’t tons more of that viewpoint across the country. Though the paralegal said she saw an RNC ad last night addressing the medicare situation and she thought it was clear and a good one. I personally haven’t seen it.
she also said that Sarah Palin on Greta last night asked why Obams wasn’t dumping the gaffe-prone Uncle Joe for Hillary? we LOVE joe biden right where he is, saying what he says, why would she propose dumping him????
One is better off not chatting with atrabilious old geezers at health clubs whose only concern is for themselves and not for the future generations of America.
I wonder if the taxpayers also pay for his membership?
Pardon my acrimonious attitude. I just heard on FOX News that Obamacare will be looting Medicare of over 700 BILLION Dollars.
Obama raided Medicare by $700bil to pay for his hc. That oughtt to knock some sense into him.
First of all, if that gentleman is listening to Al Gore, or even remembers anything Al Gore said, he is a hard core dem who won’t be swayed by anything. But if he thinks older Americans (and illegals in Texas) aren’t already being affected by changes in medicare then he is delusional. My Mother tells me weekly about another doctor in her town who has either closed his office or has announced they will no longer be taking any new Medicare patients. The idiotic notion that the money isn’t being taken away from the elderly but is taken from the hospitals or insurance companies is just unfathomable. How stupid do you have to be to believe that? It doesn’t matter where the money is going, it is all the same program. So sad that this man is unable to comprehend the scare tactics of his party
