The Republican controlled senate just screwed the Medicare recipient out of our funds
they senate republicans took 500 billion out of the trust fund, they just took it out to increase the debt by 1.5 trillion dollars, that money earned on average 3.2% annually on the treasury bonds we paid for over the years while we worked, to help those of us that paid into the system into those treasury with those bonds which are guaranteed by the full faith of the government, and those of you currently having the money being taken out of your paycheck to fund your future retirement from illness, they just took 500 billion to give tax cuts and to undermine and try to privatize and then blame the peoples government that there is a short fall in the trust fund, why was it called a trust fund, because it is a trust fund not a bank fund.
This dramatic shift of robbing Peter to pay the proverbial Paul is outrageous , most of the Paul's never have to pay into the system after they make now $122,500.01 dollars in earnings, some of them make it in 10 minutes others in two hours, others in one year, most of us never make that kind of money, and those of us on social security make less than $28,000 on average (not including pensions), which is taxed at the end of year as earned income to pay into the Medicare program, which I gladly support.
51 republican senators sat in that caucus room and on the floor of the senate, to violate the premise of the Constitution to gut the preamble of general welfare clause to feed greed to the top the few, because of an ideology, that this program is and was a saving program for those reaching retirement or having a disability to not being a burden to society, after working years using the program as a saving saving and a thank you for helping this country to be the strongest in the world, they voted and had no empathy, none...............
Well, we are coming and when or if you come home during Thanksgiving to have a turkey, or think that working thru the Christmas break to screw the elderly you are wrong, so that some banker or hedge fund manager can take my savings from Medicare, to make them rich because they did not pay -----------you are wrong--------------I deserve my Medicare and those that deserve there Medicaid deserve that service also------------we will not forget and we are coming......................

never informed the constituents from there state or the Congress, like in California like Rohrabacher . We have seen members running interference for a traitor like Nunes and McCarthy, and we have seen and heard not one word from Ryan as to what he knows and what he is going to do about this
I can agree with your analogy, I think, they the traitors overplayed there hand, and we are coming, there are more of us than them...............
