You think Bush put that together by himself??? You know a sitting president can't win - on anything.

There were committees upon committees that put this thing together - it was bipartisan.......as always.

Is this the best thing you can come up with? If you understand it so well why don't you give my 76yo sister a call and explain it to her. While your at it why don't you explain it to the whole US. This was not a Bush proposal. He didn't dream this up by himself.

I must say tho that basing the price of drugs on the pay of a retired person is fairer than letting the drug companies set the price. If the cost of living goes up with the price of drugs many seniors can't pay the bill. My sister got a 500 a year raise in SS........ the insurance now goes up. Hopefully this plan will keep the costs affordable to seniors so they can afford medicine if it's based on their actual income rather than the income of the average worker. It's a separate plan of protection for the elderly. There are and will be kinks. When the other party gets in maybe they can address the fact that there are seniors buying cat food because they can't afford to buy meat.

But back to the issue - WHO would you rather have the tickets given to???? Someone that doesn't respect the President anyway? Or maybe someone that is fighting for your right to vote your mind in the next election.

Sorry I still go with the Fort Riley group. And the truth is not ALL soldiers are republicans altho many are because the republicans stand for a strong military. They need support to do thier job......... they rely on republicans for that.
