Well... The Rightwing Propaganda On Medicare Is Already In Full Swing...

[WillyT]

Heard this on the radio on the way to work yesterday...

ANNOUNCER:

Something unusual happened last week…in Washington, DC of all places.

Elected officials actually did what they said they would.

The House passed a budget that protects and preserves Medicare for years to come.

And our Congressman, Dan Lungren, voted to protect Medicare and keep it secure for future retirees.

Our national debt is $14 trillion…America is literally spending money we don’t have and future generations won’t be able to afford.

With 10,000 Baby Boomers reaching retirement age every day, important programs like Medicare are being crushed – and could collapse if we don’t act to strengthen and improve them.

No changes for seniors on Medicare now or those who will soon go on it.

Control costs by targeting waste, fraud and abuse – so current and future seniors receive the quality care they have earned.

Call Dan Lungren at [phone]. Thank him for voting to protect Medicare and tell him to continue keeping his promise to seniors.

Paid for by the 60 Plus Association.

3. Is GOP trying to co-opt idea that they are Medicare champions?

Sick.

5. They have to destroy the village to save it

All the while claiming, "Look what a good job we're doing for you!" Or, to put it in Trump-speak, "I'm very honored to be the one to fuck up Medicare forever."

8. We got a 60 Plus mailer today telling us to thank our GOP Congressman

So my husband called the number and got a sweet little secretary type who didn't seem to care one way or the other but promised she was taking down the message.

Going by my husband's description of what he said, I believe tar and feathers featured prominently.

9. They're Doing Mailers Too ???

Maybe they'll be down to broke, by election time.

Give your hubby a high-five for me!
