re: #37 Obdicut

Graham brought up increasing the SS retirement age to 67 and means testing for benefits, and specifically said that people like Dick Gregory and himself shouldn’t get SS benefits because they don’t need them.

He also brought up Medicare part D, which was a GOP creation whose costs are spiraling out of control. He basically said that GOP members should be willing to slash at entitlements, especially GOP created ones, if they are gonna talk about slashing government spending.

And then Toomey, “well, we don’t have to get so specific” about things they’re gonna cut.
