He created a new entitlement and didn't fix a really broken one, In fact he took money from it...
Now if Romney / Ryan can re-finance it, close down Obamacare and "fix" Medicare, they can prove that Republicans can "fix" entitlements without too much pain.
That IMHO is what the Dem's fear. They know they are broke, but they don't have the Cohones' to go back to their traditional constituencies and tell them the truth.
Once one is fixed and Trust is built Medicaid , SSI and dare I say the VA medical system may get a do-over as well.
The Dem's are now in a position of not being trusted on entitlements, and no one see's it, it is a sea change..
Again once one is fixed and they can prove they can do it in a gentlemen and gentlewomen like fashion, the door is open to fix them all...
My goodness, I never thought of that.
Can this be like the 1932 election, but with the parties reversed? The media and democrats (I know, redundant) have used Hoover as a foil all these many years. Maybe we can have 75 years of “Obama” as our Hoover.
Very astute!
