Trickle this !

Trickle down has proven over again that it doesn't work. The numerous wars the GOPers have started and left unfinished haven't worked. The war on drugs and the numerous law and order campaigns they orchestrat­ed are abject failures. Now they are demanding huge spending cuts in the middle of a recovery. What conclusion is one to draw from this other than the obvious that they can't govern and their policies are a disaster for the country? The only one I can come up with is that their primary goal is to wreck the recovery in order to make President Obama look bad and hurt his chances of re election 

Look, Medicare is a program that was put into law ,under the Social Security Act, in 1965. This program provides medical care for seniors over the age of 65.  The reason for this law was simple. Seniors could not afford the rising cost of medical care when they retired. A lot of people just ignored their medical problems and just died. They could not afford to go to the Dr.  The Republicans helped passed this law because a large number of them knew that it was the right thing to do.

Medicare is under attack by a new breed of Republican.  They are trying to sell America on the need to slowely get rid of the program. Instead of trying to slow the growth of services they feel that giving seniors a voucher of $3800 a year is the answer. Would your mother or father be able to buy Ins with this voucher?  My mother and my wifes mother could not. They depend on these services to live. The program works. (See other posts of mine on Medicare).  The Republicans are slick and know that a single payer system like this is a danger to their wealthy followers.
