I am a registered Democrat. But I am so ashamed of my party these days. It seems that those who pushed for Obamcare are the same ones whose constituents and friends are given waivers. My party does not have the ability nor the will to come up with a Federal Budget thus creating instability in the government and the nation. They also do not have the ability nor the will to cut their run away spending and are more interested in playing politics and keeping in power. Now they are trying to use scare tactics --which many senior citizens fall for -- claiming that the Republican party's plan for Medicare will mean a death sentence for Medicare.
Even I know that is not true. In fact billions of dollars have been "raided" from Medicare to boost Obamcare in order to provide health insurance for those who deserve it, so they say. They claim to be cutting out fraud from Medicare in order to do this. What seniors must know is that because of this, we will probably lose about 40% of all Medicare providers. In the meantime, Obamcare has a panel that will decide if the care you really need will in fact be given to you, and of course if you are a senior and not expected to live -- according to their standards -- you will be denied the care that you need and deserve. But we are democrats. By the way, the existence of this "panel" was not included in the health care bill but hidden in one of the so called failed stimulus packages. The members are already being chosen and Seniors are going to pay a huge price. But we are Democrats. This is the way our own party is treating us? How can this be? we have been loyal supporters all our lives.
They say that you are what you eat. I guess, he told me, that you get what you vote for. Check out the benefits of a person who serves in the congress for just one term and compare those benefits to what you get or even better compare them to what a soldier who serves for 30 years receives. Better yet, check what benefits the members of congress and their staff receive compared to what you received and what your children receive. Recently congress gave themselves a $3000 per month -- that is right per month raise. People on Social Security have not received a raise in benefits in two years. Congress also bases the benefits for seniors on the magical CPI (Consumer price Index) which conveniently leaves out fuel and food prices....that way they can claim that inflation is low. But we are Democrats. Those poor people in Congress. They are exempt from Obamcare, Medicare, Social Security and so many things that are supposedly good for the rest of Americans. But we are Democrats and you get what you vote for. they are so good and trusting people, those Democrats...my union tells me how to vote for the right democrat. Isn't it a wonderful world.
My friend called me today and told me that he is considering joining the Tea Party movement. I wish him well because I believe that the Republicans in the end are going to cave to the Democrats as they usually do, despite all the rhetoric.
