• If your goal was to come up with a plan for finan­cial ruin, you couldn’t come up with a bet­ter idea than cut­ting a pro­gram by $500 bil­lion and simul­ta­ne­ously expand­ing the num­ber of peo­ple it is required to cover.
• Sen­ate Minor­ity Leader Mitch McConnell • Mak­ing another one of his snippy com­ments about the health care bill. It’s too bad he’s say­ing it about a poten­tial break­through for the bill in the Sen­ate. The lat­est idea being bandied about: Allow lower-income peo­ple as young as 55 to bask in the glory that is Medicare. Now, McConnell does have a point about this – they’re cut­ting Medicare AND adding peo­ple to it – but then again, it’s not like this jerk has actu­ally come up with a solu­tion besides “com­plain more and stonewall any rea­son­able progress.” Do more than that and we’ll give you credit. source
