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?
