2. Supply-Side economics rides again....
...let see, seniors loose $10 billion out-of-pocket, which the wealthy won't have to pay and $70 billion in tax cuts to wealthy individuals and corporations which they can invest overseas or in treasury bills to finance the federal budget deficit the tax cuts create, netting the U.S. GDP maybe $0.20 to $0.30 on the dollar of taxes cut, if the wealthy buy American. This is total Bushit!

3. does this mean the monthy cost will go down?
Right now it is over $77.00 a month. Medicare is NOT a giveaway.

Does this 'savings plan' include a cut in the premiums as well?
