Biden Calls Out GOP On Medicare: ‘They’re for a whole new plan. They’re for Vouchercare’

Biden Calls Out GOP On Medicare: ‘They’re for a whole new plan. They’re for Vouchercare’
Vice President Joe Biden hit Republicans on Thursday night for their lies and distortions on Medicare. The Republican ticket has attacked Obamacare’s $716 billion in Medicare savings, while papering over Mitt Romney’s plan, which would bankrupt Medicare by 2016. “They’re for a whole new plan,” Biden said. “They’re for Vouchercare. That’s not courage. That’s not even truthful.”

Some people who don't do the math or don't realize what the end result of 'block grants' entail in social services, may think they're getting a good deal. When it's been put that way instead of as an entitlement for money paid, it's just like tossing crumbs, then they're pulled away because of the GOP's favorite line, 'deficits.'

There isn't a deficit in money, we know those that promised to make Obama a one-term president, have been hoarding money and not hiring. What we have in this country is never a lack of money, not a 'deficit' as they like to call it in government, but a moral deficit.

They don't believe in America and don't it to succeed and they want to end Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. That's not moral.

But as long as we keep on telling them voucher care and how bad it is going to be, it's gonna be a great meme to push.
