What? No, cries of Socialism? lol. Where is the outrage that McCain cashes his socialistic check EVERY month? And lets the GOVERNMENT Pay for his medical care when his own wife is worth over 100 MILLION dollars?

McCain is USING the benefits that he will cut for millions! He's not talking about this, is he?

McCain's Medicare Cuts Would Mean Hidden Tax Increases for Millions of Americans

Think Progress. Posted October 13, 2008.

(((((CUTS IN MEDICARE: To achieve his goal of cutting Medicare by 13 percent over 10 years, McCain will have to limit growth in enrollment and medical price inflation to 4.5 percent annually. To maintain the current operations of the existing Medicare program, however, a growth rate of at least 7.1 percent is needed over the next 10 years to cover the 2.7 percent average annual growth in enrollment and a projected rate of medical price inflation of 4.4 percent. Absent another change in his plan, McCain would have to reduce Medicare eligibility, reduce benefits, and/or increase cost-sharing. Either approach would jeopardize the benefits of existing beneficiaries and severely limit the program from accepting new enrollees.)))))

I don't think anybody over 55 here is crying in their coffee cup about Socialism, this malarkey has come from the conservatives listening to bafoons like Rush Limpjob and Hannity, and O'Reilly, and the rest of the bozos like Bill Kristol. I think it's the younger set sqwaking away.

lol. OMG! You are right, but I can't wait until the radical right realize that McCain is not only lying, but willing to take money from taxpayers that he does not need. That's hypocritical.

Where oh where is chillychillychilly? John McCain, a man who married into wealth, is taking part in one of America's 'spread the wealth' programs. (I do agree that as he has paid into the program he deserves to receive the payments) Yes we are all contributing to Social Security, but anyone who actually received SSI in retirement will likely receive far more than they put in - isn't that 'spreading the wealth'? And here is McCain partaking of that evil! Someone call the presses! Let's get a robo call going!

So what you're saying is: When the older folks take their SSI and Medicare benefits, they are actually receiving socialistic benefits? Benefits that have already been implemented? Am I on the right track? ;)

edited to add winky face!
