All you have to do is look at pictures from Congressional town hall events, like Steve Cohen’s in Memphis, to see points one and two.
Points three and/or four? If I hear “get the government out of my healthcare” from a senior citizen one more time, I’m ready to personally hire someone to hack into government computers and cut off their Medicare coverage.
What do they think the fucking GOP majority Congress passed and George W. Bush signed into law in 2004? A Medicare prescription benefit.

A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
