St. Reagan and Death Panels for Granny

interesting article from the WSJ.


If St. Ronnie was around today I wonder if the Neo-Conned would think that he supported the Death Panels too??

"Ronald Reagan proposed cutting $1 billion in Medicare spending while president in 1981, when the program cost just $40 billion a year.

That a 2.5% cut for any Neo-Cons that can count.

A 2.5% Cut in the 2008 $325 billion Medicare budget would be $8.12 billion.

In 2007, Dumbya proposed cutting $15.2 billion from the 2008 Medicare budget.  That's an almost 5% Cut.  That plan would have been realized by reducing provider payment updates and raising premiums for higher-income beneficiaries -- Basically punishing the insurance industry and wealthier medicare recipients.    

WHERE WERE THE TOWNHALLS?  WHERE WERE THE GUN TOTTING FRINGERS? 

Oh yeah.  It was un-American to question the President before the darkie took charge.

But, suddenly the Neo-No-Nothing Party is up in arms about cutting Grannie's lifeline.   Heaven forbid it!

The Hypocrisy is astounding.

St. Ronnie is surely rolling over in his grave.
