Medicare Receipts in 2011: $187B
Medicare Outlays in 2011: $488B
Deficit: $301B
PS. Also worth noting is that more than 60% of Medicaid spending (or, about $180 billion) goes towards taking care of Medicare enrollees.
I will hurry out to the nearest highway(about 2 blocks) and jump in front of the next semi-rig that comes along. I sure am sorry to learn from you that I am bleeding the country dry. Would you prefer I aim to be run over by the wheels or just jump into the grill of the truck?
When you're responding to a thread, you don't have to reference the title of the thread in your posts. You're expected to engage in a discussion with points as they relate to the subject. I shouldn't have to tell you or anybody this.
Hence, when someone brings up the point about putting old people in the hands of privateers, or questions why/how politicians pander to the segment, talk about it whether you agree or disagree. Don't show up with your signature posts with disgust for liberals and leftists. That qualifies as trolling.
Like this Slate article said:
Quote:
But more than anyone else in politics, Rep. Ryan has made a serious attempt to grapple with the long-term fiscal issue the country faces. He has a largely coherent, workable set of answers. If you don't like them, now you need to come up with something better.
Another false analogy. They are not a "sacred cow" They vote for one, second when one reaches the age of 65 no insurance company[ a profit based entity] will cover them with out it costing more than most elderly can afford. Third you lie when you say free money. These people have paid into to it all their life and now when they expect for it to be there the Republicans want to remove it. Pulling out the rug from the elderly is a huge mistake the Republicans are making and instead of running from it as many of the individual members are, they are instead doubling down. Great!!! If this is the hill the Republicans want to die on let them martyr themselves on it. We have a bloated military that we spend more than the next 20 nations combined. This needs to be cut drastically. Next the Ryan plan not only destroys Medicare for those under 55 but he gives tax cuts to the wealthy at the same time. He does exactly what Walker did in Wisconsin, created a problem in revenue by giving away money to the wealthy and then with the other hand take it away from the most vulnerable in the state. As people wake up and see this there will be more Republican blood on that hill of Medicare and I for one say let them bleed out.
After 61 posts this thread has suddenly descended into the normal partisan political argument and you were responsible for that descent. I would hope you are proud of your work.
What exactly is it that makes someone infallible or a saint just because they reach the age of 65? ... I have to subsidize them through social security so they can go down to the casinos in AC, Vegas, Philadelphia Park, etc so they can **** away my money in the slot machines? .
I must remind you that all of these people paid into SS... many have paid in much more than they will get out.
But, maybe we should just shoot these 65 year old bastards..... line em up and shoot em.
Then follow that with shooting the younger basters too....
Problem solved..... oops. not quite. There wouldn't be anyone left to kill the last bastard.

Trust me, I don't mind paying to that cause. I do mind hearing back that somehow you've paid into it so all is fine and others should just shut up.
Do you think there aren't articles that have stated it otherwise?

Or, you could starve the beasts? Please do tell what should happen to the 65-year old bastards (as you chose to call them), who end up in a situation where they can't afford to pay for their health care?
