An angry elderly woman at a townhall campaign event in New Hampshire let Jeb Bush know just what she and most Americans think of his plan to phase out Medicare.
Jeb Bush defends Medicare 'phase out' comment
By ELI STOKOLS
“We’re not going to have adequate coverage for our children or our grandchildren without Medicare. I paid into that for years and years just like all these other seniors here and now you want to take it away?” said the woman, who did not identify herself and left before the town hall concluded. “Why are you always attacking the seniors?”
“Well, I’m not,” Bush responded. “Here’s what I said: I said we’re going to have to reform our entitlement system. We have to.”
“It’s not an entitlement,” the woman shot back. “I earned that.”
“It’s an actuarially unsound healthcare system,” said Bush, who said something must be done before the system burdens future generations with $50 billion of debt. “Social Security is an underfunded retirement system; people have put money into it, for sure.
“The people that are receiving these benefits, I don’t think that we should touch that; but your children and grandchildren are not going to get the benefit of this that they believe they’re going to get or that you think they’re going to get, because the amount of money put in compared to the amount of money the system costs is wrong.”it seems everybody except republicans think it's a stupid act by a party of stupid people, like the lady said she and the rest have been paying in forever that also includes those children and grandchildren of working age. now to tell that it was all for naught, never mind, sorry, that's too bad, see ya wouldn't want to be ya, you got nothing coming, you are short, our accountant ran away with the money, oh and your social security check that's next.
this is what's waiting on Jan 21, 2017 if you pick the other side of darkness, time to break out the pitchforks and torches the monsters are about to ravage the town.
