Liberals warn McCaskill, Democratic senators on entitlement cuts
Liberals warn McCaskill, Democratic senators on entitlement cuts
click link above:
from article:
"Conservatives in Congress aren't the only ones taking heat in the brewing fights over cutting Medicare and popular government programs.
A coalition of liberal groups is telling Democratic senators in Missouri and three other states who are up for re-election next year that signing on to such cuts would be perilous to their political futures.
The groups -- Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Democracy for America, MoveOn.org and Credo Action --commissioned polls suggesting strongly that cuts in key entitlements would be unwelcome with voters.
In Missouri, a poll conducted by PPP, a Democratic-aligned polling firm, showed that cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security would be especially unpopular.
The poll in Missouri of 1,050 likely voters found that 19 percent would support reducing Medicare expenditures while 77 percent opposed Medicare trims.
The survey question was phrased this way: In order to reduce the national debt, would you support or oppose cutting spending on Medicare, which is the government health insurance program for the elderly?
A similar question on Medicaid found that 32 percent would support cuts to reduce the national debt while 63 percent would oppose them. For Social Security, 17 percent would support cuts; 76 percent oppose them.
Stephanie Taylor, co-founder othe Progressive Change Campaign Committee, said in a statement: "Senator McCaskill should not support needless compromises on these issues and instead go on the offense by investing in jobs and making oil companies, Wall Street and the rich pay their fair share in taxes."
------------
note to Claire: if you wish to be a republican, switch parties. enough of the right wing bull.
You are going to be a hard sell if you do not immediately support medicare, medicaid and social security as it is or better. If not, better pass a good unemployment extention for you will need it

I suspect the figures and estimates on the low end. Medical care inflation for the last decade is 100% just by itself.
of course, should we adopt true universal healthcare such as HR676, this would drop drastically
