exact amount was Of the $716 billion in cuts, $415 billion come in the form of “updates to fee-for-service payment rates, the rest went after fraud


and this is the very same thing...going after fraud..not cutting one cent of benefits

It’s my money, so “yesâ€.

Actually, it’s China’s money, but I’ll have to pay them back with interest someday.

Anyone surprised? This is what happens when the Republicans are the majority. They don’t care about the middle class. It’s all BS. Next, they will cut your social security. When do they cut these politicians benefits?

Comments on Krugman's latest NYT OpEd are pure gold. Times Picks will leave no illusions on this tax bill. Not only are they going after student loans, they also want to treat as income tuition waivers which means paying tax on money never received. Any way to dumb down the electorate. They need their stupid voters. They also tried to attack IRAs but lost their nerve - never fear, they'll be back. Meanwhile, those who need money the least get money from those who don't have it. Only in America.

OpEd is good - comments are gold:

The 700 billion in "cuts" by Obama didn't affect beneficiaries, they reduced overpayments to private Medicare plans (Medicare advantage). Medicare Advantage insurers were claiming that their enrollees were sicker than they were, without having to provide any evidence, they were straight up robbing medicare and he put a stop to it. Do some research on it if you don't believe me
