re: #80 windsagio
Windsagio, it seems Rogue has raised a perfectly valid point. I don’t think analogies to Doritos matter much.
However, Rogue, the document you linked is not talking about $500 billion in medicaire ‘cuts’ at any point. Where did you get the $500 billion figure from?
The line before you began quoting says:
However, the additional savings by the government as a whole—which represent the true increase in the ability to pay for future Medicare benefits or other programs—would be a good deal smaller.
Doesn’t this indicate that there is savings to the government as a whole?
