OF COURSE Raising the Medicare Benefit Age

is a benefit cut.

Why don't Obama and his fellow fascists raise the eligibility age to 90? That'll save a LOT of money with all of the people having died off.

I never thought I'd be nostalgic for Bush and Cheney, but there it is. The Republicans talk a good game, but it is so-called "Democrats" who actually put in rightwing policies.

Look at Clinton and so-called "welfare." What a disaster that was. I had thought of voting for Nader in 1996, but the way the GOP were going after Clinton on bogus charges, I voted for him instead.

This ain't gonna happen with Obama.

John Nichols:

Democrats had their most significant victory in the past two years when Kathy Hochul won the special election in New York's 26th District. Hochul grabbed a traditionally Republican seat by campaigning as a stalwart and unyielding defender of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. She offered real alternatives for voters who were concerned about deficits and debts: arguing for fair taxation and a broad examination of waste, fraud and abuse in federal programs.

That was a powerful, winning argument. But it cannot be made by a president or a party that imposes deep and unnecessary cuts in Medicare. Accepting that so-called “entitlement” programs are the source of America’s fiscal challenges effectively endorses House Budget Committee chairman Ryan’s false premises.

Obama needs to switch parties.
