When bullshitters can't recognize their own bullshit

Social Security is not in trouble and has never been in trouble:


Medicare is in trouble. The only reform ever to substantially bend the cost curve back to horizontal has been Obamacare, and the Teapublican response is to demagogue that fact - "Keep your filthy government hands off my Medicare" - and to then end Medicare in all but name, replacing it with decreasing vouchers that wouldn't purchase what seniors need in their first year.

Adding 30 million to Medicare, 10 yearrs of taxes with 6 years of outlays, no doc fix and Obamacare bent the curve. Rumpelstilskin, did you just wake up after the Xmas eve vote?

Those who can't tell the difference between Medicare and Medicaid should really learn a little humility. Your opinion? Useless.

Not to mention confusion of Rumpelstiltskin with Rip Van Winkle...

Is there anything you're not confused about?

Rip Van Winkle, you can't remember my name. Look up "demonstration project" to learn how the curve is being bent, right before the election. apres, c'est la deluge

Pay no attention to the sticks and stones Flyguy. LL is suffering from a mental disorder known as Liberalism.

Morguey, check your French expression. You butchered that too.

Still confused, and the fact that someone else is confused doesn't change the fact that you are. You can be inpatients - oh, except you won't have healthcare under the Teapublicans.
