…after you cut Defense 95% and tax the rich 95% of income and assets. Until them, Democrats will keep beating the Republicans like a drum with this issue.

As well they should, Ted. Americans LOVE their medicare, and we all know why….BECAUSE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE WORKS!!!! . . .it works EXTREMELY WELL. . .and everyone knows it, especially those who want to deny it to the rest of us.
Personally I think Medicare is unconstitutional on the grounds of age discrimination…..we should all have access. I LOVE this issue…not because I expect ANYTHING when I age (except abject poverty of a wrecked society), but because it exposes the teabaggers’ fraud, as well as the GOP’s ideological stupidity.
Sadly, the Constitution is not currently deemed to protect us from age discrimination.
There is a federal statute preventing age discrimination in hiring, but only against the old (over 50). It’s perfectly fine to fuck over the young.
