I'm not sure what planet Nancy Pilosi is from or what she's be snorting. Her squack claims that Paul Ryan's pick as GOP VP Running Mate is a disaster for the Republicans because the elderly hate his ideas of Medicare Reform. Where did she get that idea?
Not one single elderly person would be affected by the Romney/Ryan plan., In fact no one who qualifies for membership in the AARP would be affected. The only folks affected are those still working under the age of 50 who will now have to work to age 67 instead of 65 and settle for about what the current medicare recipients are receiving.
The Obama plan which Pilosi claims works, would steal $716,.000,000,000 from the Medicare Trust Fund to fund health insurance for poor blacks, leaving the elderly to fend for themselves after 2016. Did you catch the term "TRUST FUND"? Isn't theft of the Union Pension Trust what sent Jimmy Hoffa to prison? A Trust Fund is untouchable except for the specific items outlined in the fund - collecting medicare taxes and distributing those funds to maintain the medicare system. No where in there do I see stealing the cash from the fund for some nut-ball project dreamed up by Obama.
Nut-Ball? Interesting how that term so well suits, Nancy Pilosi, Harry Reid and Barrack Obama.
