Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, you realize that in ObamaCare half a trillion dollars is taken from Medicare. And this is not just window dressing; this is real cuts that are occurring actually as we speak, are actually being scheduled, starting with psychiatric care, including care for assisted living, home health care. Virtually nothing is being touched. And that so-called half a trillion of savings that's being taken out of Medicare is being used to do two things: Number one, to tack on the end of Medicare because it's running out of money in 6 years, to extend the life. And I still, after a year, cannot get an explanation on how you take the money out of something and add it back in and make it last longer. I know I could try that budget at home and it would never work. Secondly, the same money is being counted again in this bookkeeping scam that will subsidize the middle class, lower-income class in terms of their private health care. So this is just more gimmicks, more Washington gimmicks that is going to hurt a lot of people.”
