You may remember last year when Rep. Barletta was confronted by an angry woman at a town hall in Lansford. Barletta was making the point that any proposed changes in Medicare would only affect people under 55 years old. The woman, whose name was Linda, made the point that the children and grandchildren of the people in the room would most definitely be affected, and she cared about them as well. (You may have seen her on CNN or on Rachael Maddow.)
Now the Republicans are at it again. The Ryan budget is supposed to affect Medicare for people under 55. Ryan and the Republicans are hoping that seniors care only about themselves
Is Ryan correct? The fall election may depend on whether seniors only worry about themselves, or whether they also care about their children and grandchildren. Should be interesting.
The key word in your second paragraph is "supposed". Now how many people out there trust the Romney/Ryan ticket. I don't! They don't like medicare for anyone and if they are given a chance-it's history.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazed me today is an article in the Chicago Tribune about unregistered voters who support the President but will not vote this November. They are using the same old usual excuses about politics and distrust. I'm coming to the conclusion that some people are just plain ignorant. I wonder what they will think when they don't have Medicare or Social Security.
