Better Adelson's ring than Tony Rezko.

Escrick, you miss the overall point. Axelrod said their was no such cut. He didn't make your claim, he says you are lying. He is wrong. Not only is Axelrod wrong, you just called him wrong, too.

No. No such thing has yet occurred. Boards will be established (have not been established yet), that will eliminate a supposed $700 billion in waste and fraud- not a proven amount of waste and fraud.

That is not fair. Obama was quoted out of context. Republicans aren't entitled to the facts. Don't worry, Axelrod will clear up this whole mess so Debbie can say something stupid about it later. Plus Paul Ryan's plan will cut down the bridge as a bus of 65 year olds crosses, plunging to their death. Yep, four more years to change hope.

Yep. Typically how it works.

No. Ram doesn't understand basic economics. When someone resorts to "creative destruction" ideas to refute the arguments you presented, that person shows a fundamental misunderstanding of economics. Improvement and progress mean certain things become inefficient or obsolete- not creative destruction. Creative destruction is more like surgery-in order to fix the organism (a company), I harm it first, remove or fix the problem, thereby allowing the organism to thrive and continue (Staples). Non- ideological explanation.

Ram, you pose the question! "If you want to compete globally, doesn't that mean you have to compete at the very same labor rates as they do?". The answer is, no. Labor is only one cost of production (for instance, buy something from China and you need to factor shipping costs when you look at price). Then there is product quality. If I produce a superior product, I should have greater demand for my product, meaning I can charge more for my product (absorbing greater production costs). There are other factors to also consider, but this is sufficient to answer your question.

Ram, riddle me this, if R&R want to kill Medicare, why don't they just follow the Democrats' plan? Medicare will be dead in 10 years. Or do you think that is a government lie?

Ram, if Debbie is doing her job, her job sucks. Why would anyone take a job to be a blithering idiot? That said, since this is obviously her job (just watch her in action), I must say, "Good job Debbie!"

If the Republicans want to destroy Medicare, the simplest thing is to do nothing. Follow the path Obama suggests and Medicare will be insolvent in just more than a decade. People know this. The government repeatedly tells us this. Stupid, nutty me.

Sorry, looking at wrong story. Sad commentary when so many stories deal with blatant lies, can't keep them all straight. In the past team Obama kept the lies to a manageable one at a time. It would be nice to see a montage of his greatest hits. Should be a good attack ad accept it would be too long.
