stuckincincy Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 "WASHINGTON – Congress' chief budget officer on Tuesday contradicted President Barack Obama's oft-stated claim that seniors wouldn't see their Medicare benefits cut under a health care overhaul. The head of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Douglas Elmendorf, told senators that seniors in Medicare's managed care plans could see reduced benefits under a bill in the Finance Committee."... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090923/ap_on_...th_care_seniors We can't have things like that going on...Commisar Baucus speaks: http://www.usnews.com/blogs/peter-roff/200...backfiring.html It's inexorable...

Endzone Animal Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 It depends what your definition of "benefit" is. For example, if you consider it a "benefit" for society as a whole to sacrifice your benefits then that could mean seniors will indeed receive increased benefits.

Magox Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Ya, I posted about this yesterday in one of the other threads. Absolutely disgusting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieatcrayonz Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I have as much or more respect for old people than anyone but seriously can this stuff be a surprise? Obama has to save money somewhere. He can easily tell these people their benefits are increasing while they're actually shrinking. All he has to do is keep it short. Meanwhile the CBO puts out a 10 trillion page report which has old people confused because it is longer than 9 words. They'll believe Obama and we all save money. I'm sure the lobbyists for compostory bag comapnies will put up a fight but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ieatcrayonz Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Do you think Obama lied, or not? Look, I can't really go into that because it would involve investing a little time. And for what? To determine if someone lied to old people? It's not like it would make any difference either way. I have as much or more respect for old people than anyone but let's face it, they have a warped sense of reality. It is really pretty random with them as to what they believe. If they believe a lie and you shine the light of truth you'll only be yelled at anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
