Republicans to Consider Cutting Medicare Waste

[senseandsensibility]

Chyron on MSNBC. They are throwing out all kind of hints that not only are Medicaid and SNAP on the chopping clock, so is Medicare. R Senators say that trump approves of cutting Medicare "waste".

Here's the thing: you can call anything waste. And they will.

This is why an adversarial press is an absolute necessity with this administration. They will not call this out. Again, it will fall to the Dems and to us to spread the word.

I honestly think that the manufactured spectacle in LA is at least partly to distract from what's in the bill and the cuts they are making. So was the hissy fit catfight between the two most spoiled men on earth last week.

We need to stay focused, united, and LOUD.

2. Medicare keeps old "useless eaters" alive

I Guess this meets their definition of waste

3. Yup

There would be no Medicare if R"s had had their way when the program was initiated. They are not to be trusted as guardians of a program that their party has historically opposed.

4. Trump now says it is OK to cut Medicare

The Repugs can now act on Cutting Medicare and Medicaid, the AssH*** just gave his permission.

6. Media needs to ask them what waste?

[senseandsensibility]

7. That would be a good start.

But their tongues seem to be tied when it comes to pinning these people down. Either that or they are too busy speculating about whatever distraction the administration has thrown out most recently.

8. "Squirrel!"

[Nanjeanne]

9. So does that mean they are going after the corporations, private nursing homes, etc who are defrauding Medicare?

I guess that means Rick Scott will be kicked out of Congress and in jail! Great.
