Blatant Hypocrisy: Democrats Silent on Obama Medicare Cuts

Follow us at: twitter.com/verumserum. While President Bush was in office, the Democrats spoke out vehemently against any proposed cuts in Medicare & Medicaid. Now that President Obama has proposed $622B in Medicare/Medicaid cuts to help pay for his healthcare plan, where are the Democrats now?

cuts and savings are two, completely different things dude

[morgenr]

You're right. They are "cuts" when Republicans propose them...and "savings" when Democrats propose them.

[The0neAndOnlyX]

where is the proof of obama even saying 622 billion dollar cuts to medicare. you extremist nuts pull numbers out of your ass all the time. why don't you all go shoot yourselves in the head with the assault rifles you stockpile.

[morgenr]

Wrong. The total I used in the video came directly from a document distributed by the White House. It's posted on my blog...but anyone who wants a link to the document directly, just email me using my YouTube user name at gmail.

I will respond to insults with facts all day long. Shows who the real nut case is.

Now the messiah says cuts are good and massive new taxes are peachy keen. Their messiah has spoken. PURE EVIL

[Yakko77]

Hypocrisy is too kind a word.

[chronDiggity]

Republicans are never hypocrites.... except all the fucking time!

You people seem to think they just made arbitrary cuts without thinking WHY they made cuts in the first place.

So imagine, if you can, that someone wants to cut medicare, and do nothing else. Now imagine someone does something else, that ALLOWS cuts. Guess which one is republican, and which one is a democrat.

@JesusMakeUpMyDyinBed

that's constitutional, were in agreement 100%

[JesusMakeUpMyDyinBed]

@bluesmann8 Why not keep it private and not force people to buy it. Wouldn't this be the free market approach? I'm in agreement with you that people shouldn't have to purchase insurance.

[bluesmann8]

@JesusMakeUpMyDyinBed do you remember when no fault insurance came about and they made everybody buy it? the claim was it was going to be cheaper for all. another big lie. charge big and pay very little or no pay at all. its unconstitutional to make anybody buy anything including insurance. when its forced on you, make it non profit! and limit their paychecks and no bonus's

[JesusMakeUpMyDyinBed]

@bluesmann8 Would it be your position that private insurance companies should be shut down? Isn't this a socialist view point? If you nationalize health care then arent you going to send thousands who worked for private insurance companies to the unemployment lines?

[JesusMakeUpMyDyinBed]

Isn't it funny that when the Dems cut 500 billion from medicare it's getting rid of "wasteful expenditures' but whe the Republicans suggest cuts its because they want to deny old people medical care

[Wilone328]

Baraks Health Care Bill.... Do you believe in this gov's law?? Go to my youtube channel to Learn exactly why Americans voices matters !!

[bluesmann8]

Why not cut profits to insurance companies?, like all profits!

They are the ones getting all the money and who is making it expensive to ,companies,doctors, and everybody else.

Make health care non profit except for the doctors and healthcare workers. Would'nt that cut cost in half?  No way! that would make to much sense right?

[sharmaine73]

wonder when they are going to start moderating these discussions.  Just curious.

[jefeisdguard]

Yeah, I know.

Just trying to pack 25 lbs of sh%#t in a two lb bag,
