  • Obama needs to listen to Sen. Sanders more often-- subscribe to this channel.

  • Funny how republicans screamed about pulling the plug on Gramma and how Obama hated seniors. But let Obama do something to help seniors and he's buying their votes! Man, you're really going to have to try harder! When you can't keep you campaign promises....just buy the votes. And when seniors figure out what's gonna happen to medicare will this offset the outrage? You know how 0bama became a rapper? He printed so much money that my dollar became worth 50 cent!

  • This is an increase in what we are overspending at current levels now, while robbing our grandchildren. Each citizen now owes $ 320,000. Freeze all gov increases for two years.

  • ." Vice President Hubert Humphrey wrote: "It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped." To fail any of these tests is to dishonor those who would be left out as well diminish the humanity of the nation.

  • We can't afford not to. Caring for the elderly is NOT "what pork looks like."

  • Not increasing is not turning your back on seniors.
