The Democrats have a challenge to prove to the American people they have the best idea for reducing the American National Debt. That includes the knowledge that increases in the cost of living adjustment to SSI has not increased from the third quarter of 2008. That is due to the economy, but, also indicates there are changes in the economy that can be factored into the budget regarding federal spending where COLA applies.
This is also an opportunity to 'fine tune' any spending that is disadvantageous to Medicare payments such as drug costs. But, more importantly, rather than discussing how the 'spending side' of the National Debt has to be addressed, first the TAX RATIO of income to citizens and businesses has to be adjusted to pay down that debt. Under the previous administration there were huge tax breaks for the wealthy that has created no new jobs, nor stimulated the economy to generate jobs, that is a disadvantage to the nation and it should be viewed as a 'gift' rather than an income at a time when the nation is still at war and paying billions to support troops.
I don't know how any House Member can look themselves in the mirror, yet alone their constituencies, and ask Senior Citizens on fixed incomes to pay more for their health care while the wealthiest citizens in the country have more than they need to plan for their futures, so long as Wall Street doesn't take another tumble and then where will they be when that all goes south again. I sincerely believe to protect Medicare and the future of investment for those that don't need Medicare we need very competent people in the new consumer bureau.
I don't see why Medicare is viewed as unsustainable. We are not going to be at war forever, unless one is a Republican, and the solvency of all the entitlement programs can be extended once the military costs are reduced as we bring troops home and close down massive spending. Some of that spending was questionably entered into by engaging in an unnecessary war with little to no benefits to the USA of any kind. Even the Halliburton oil fields are not bringing relief to the American Consumer.
War is not suppose to be forever, but, Medicare is. Somebody's priorities are very, very misguided.
