Seniors told to fear GOP spending cuts
By Jason Millman - 03/09/11 08:44 PM ET


The Obama administration escalated a fight with Republicans over spending on Wednesday, warning that millions of seniors could see their Medicare payments blocked under the House GOP plan.

Seniors could also see Social Security payments delayed if the measure backed by the GOP cutting another $57 billion in spending this year is enacted, the administration said.

The administration’s attempts to portray the House budget as harmful to seniors — a powerful voting bloc — represent the White House’s most aggressive step yet to try to gain the upper hand in a battle with House Republicans that for a second time in two months threatens to lead to a government shutdown.

Polls show both parties would get the blame if the spending fight caused a shutdown, with nearly equal numbers of respondents in several surveys assigning blame to both the White House and congressional Republicans.

2. They were 'told' to fear them ?

Are they scared children who need to be told how to think ?

Are they being mind controlled by spaced out (if well meaning) pie in the sky lily white dyed in the wool liberal Democrats ?

You just catapulted this without blinking an eye ....
