The Washington Times actually has it wrong – using $350 billion instead of $350 million. But isn’t that telling? At some point, you have to just say what’s the real difference ya know?
From the Washington Times and – believe it or not – the Associated Press, we learn state cuts to Medicaid continue and more are planned in the future. No kidding? Someone on the left will soon claim this is a positive result … imagine how bad it could be if we did not pass Obamacare!…
It is unclear tonight whether the defunding of Social Security and Medicare will continue for another two months or another year or, not at all. Congress, at least those not already on vacation, are still pondering this.
This week, the Senate will take up a bill concerning extending the reduction in the amount of taxes Americans pay to fund Social Security and Medicare. The bill contemplates extension of the lower tax rate Democrats, at the urging of President Obama, put in place two years ago as a “temporary” measure to boost the economy.

Wi.). According to the President, it will throw seniors under the bus, they will have to eat dog food, starve, and die, all thanks…
Remember those heartwarming commercials before last year’s election where Andy Griffith tried to assure seniors that Obamacare was really a great program? Just in case you’ve forgotten, you can view one of them here. As we pointed out then, Sheriff Andy didn’t exactly tell the truth about Obamacare. He tried to assure seniors that their Medicare benefits…
By now everyone knows that a large piece of Obamacare’s “deficit neutrality” comes from the provision that would eliminate Medicare Advantage programs for seniors. This will “save” the government some $136 billion over 10 years. Medicare Advantage is despised by the left because it is privately run, and demonstrates to all that “market pricing and competition” are…
