Really? Don't be shy, share your source that he's using Medicare instead of premium private insurance.
Probably has a cadillac plan also, as Medicare is not income specific, but every person gets medicare at 65. Most people do have part B supplemental, even the rich as well as the not so well off.
"People age 65 or older, who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States, are eligible for Medicare Part A. You're eligible for “Part A” at no cost at age 65 if: You receive or are eligible to receive Social Security benefits"
From the government Social Security and Medicare official site.
So he's a billionaire and you're begrudging him the same Cadillac plan that union members who demanded exemptions from Obamacare have? That's harsh, bro.

Balls in your court. Prove he doesn't have it.
No sugar, you claimed his IS on Medicare. It's on you, dear.

No I'm not begrudging him anything and I haven't said anything of the sort.
Great story, except "developed for the government" is different from "government randomly decides to give you a few million and not your competitors, who they fine and tax." We already have alternative energy companies. They just all fail as soon as they aren't fully subsidized. I'm quite sure someone with your education can grasp the difference.
Gonna answer my question?

btw.. the list of things you claim that I said was unacceptable which was complete B.S.... you conveniently ignored my response.
Because he's 70, lacks some self control, and makes bad decisions. Have you seen him when he was younger?? He wasn't overweight then. He's not that overweight anyways.
Doesn't matter if he wasn't overweight 30 years ago, he is obese now. He will be one of our fattest presidenrs.
When they present forged or stolen documents to get those jobs, how is the employer supposed to know they're not legit?
Fine. Go ahead and eliminate the demand.
No, the food lobbies aren't allowing people to double-dip, triple-dip, or more, free food welfare benefits for the same meals. The government is doing that.
You have no workable solutions. The best solution I've seen in this thread is to fund all social welfare freebie benefits via private foundation charities, only. Let people vote with their own money instead of insisting on forcibly taking it from others.
You do realize that a very large percentage of recipients are in the rural red states and the recently red, rust belt?
So, as usual, you and your fine, christian, moral set, prefer to demonize and penalize the poor, rather than solve the problem at it's source. Got it. Knew it, and never doubted it to begin with. Thanks for the lesson in the mindset of the new order.
Time to end this taxpayer rip off and let private charities funded with private money through voluntary giving handle the feeding of "the poor". I guarantee they'll watch where the money goes much closer than the bureaucrats in Washington.
No surprise here. Soda is cheaper than spring or distilled water. And the tap water in most urban centers tastes like garbage. Sugar is also an addictive, feel-good drug. If you're depressed because you're poor and live in a crappy neighborhood, this is your legal "high," your little bright spot for stimulation and good feelings.
