Thune: Top Message I Got From Town Halls Is ‘Don’t Cut My Social Security And Medicare’

“Do something,” Thune said Wednesday after a town hall meeting at the Brandon Municipal Golf Course.

“Why can’t you work together? There’s a high level of frustration with the inaction, and there’s a lack of confidence in the country and the economy. They want to see us get something done.”

That’s one of the major insights he’ll take back to Washington, D.C. after the August recess, he said.

It ranks behind “don’t cut my Social Security and Medicare. I’ve heard that quite a bit,” Thune said.

3. Donchya worry - his owners will get him to drop that "don't"

at the beginning of that sentence.
He'll be right back to normal soon.

4. He will, of course, interpret "don't cut mine" as "cut someone else's"

When I suspect a good number of the people were actually saying "don't cut Social Security and Medicare" WITHOUT slapping the selfish "I" on the sentence.
