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.
