When Elephants take the place of Weasels

Medicare today - - Social Security tomorrow -- poof -- gone in a flash or a GOP flush??



The story headline says it all: GOP Will Propose Eliminating Medicare, Replacing it With Voucher-Like "Subsidies"


The details of course are scary enough, but the worst part: the GOP base, now entirely managed by the TEA "party" nitwits are out to totally ruin anything and everything that is good about the country -- the country they profess to love, worship, and admire so much ... I say it's so much bullshit that it's oozing out those big elephant ears.


Here from the story is the key part: [snip] "... Republicans say that the plan won't impact the cost or quality of medical care, nor will it leave any seniors with inadequate coverage. But they are also careful to say that their plan would not take effect until 2021, so it would only impact people who are 55 and under. But if they really believe their plan would be so great for seniors, why wait until 2021? Why not just do it now?"


The top Weasel award for this one is a slam dunk, just like the GOP justification for invading Iraq was a slam dunk. Ouch.
