Boehner and the Lies from the Right

Boehner went directly on television and lied to the American People after the President was more than generous to him.  "Bi-Partisan Bill passed in the House"???  5 Democrats don't make a Bill Bi-Partisan Speaker Boehner and you yourself voted 5 times in the past to raise the Debt Ceiling without a blink.
Boehner's lies will catch up to him in the end, the Phone lines are jammed and the Websites are down, Americans are MAD and we are doing exactly what the President asked us to do, contact our Congressmen/Women and tell them without increasing Revenues on the Wealthiest - there is NO DEAL.  
Corporate Jet Tax Subside, Welfare for Big Oil, the Hyper-Rich with extended Tax Cuts via Bush, Hedge Fund Managers with their Billions... they spend more on Parties than the 

Medicare and Cuts to Medicare

If Medicare cuts are on the table - they should start with the Doctors first, they are the worst abusers of the system.  Extra tests, extra visits... just because they all can get away with it.  The Government has to pay them in 15 days, it's the law.

Medicare was charged $675 for a test that I didn't need.  Another Doctor actually said "I'll see you in a week, wait - you have Medicare, I see Medicare patients twice a week.  Ob/Gyn one visit a month for 3 months, for what?  


Abuse is coming from the Rich Doctors that charge the Government for unnecessar­y procedures and tests and have no responsibi­lity for the results and outcomes in patient recovery or care.

Social Security and the Debt Ceiling

Social Security has NOTHING to do with the DEFICIT and is solvent until 2035.  The GOP wants their grubby hands on that money and has since it's inception.  Republican­s have always despised Social Security when it is a saving grace for aging Americans.
Why would they want to abolish the Social Safety Nets for older Americans?­??  EVERYONE will get old and there comes a time when EVERYONE will be unable to work, laborers especially­.  The notion of raising the Social Security age to 70 is absolutely ludicrous.  And on top of it, we've been paying into it all of our working lives, where does that money go?  To support the Hyper-Rich and Big Oil???
Who is going to hire a 68 year old?  On top of it our 401K's have been decimated.  How are older American supposed to survive in our Nation if the GOP has their way?”
