There’s No Limit on Irresponsibility
June 13th, 2011
Sens. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Jack Reed (D-R.I.) want to make Medicare off-limits in negotiations over raising the federal governments debt limit. They argue that Medicare is too “complicated” (read: politically dangerous leading up to an election) to address when the heat is on concerning the debt. The upset victory of Kathy Hochul in upstate New York sends a clear message to politicians about the risks of leveling with the public about Medicares fiscal problems.

Two-Way Truce Can Improve Health Care
May 23rd, 2011
Last week, 42 freshman House Members sent a letter to President Barack Obama urging him to stop Democrats from employing “Mediscare” tactics on them and their colleagues for their votes in support of Rep. Paul Ryans (R-Wis.) Medicare proposal and other health care policy changes.
