I’m sure many of you remember how Democrats claimed that Republicans wanted to push grandma off the cliff some years ago over the need to reform Medicare.
Well now Trump is using that same nasty attack on DeSantis today by saying that “HE IS A WHEELCHAIR OVER THE CLIFF KIND OF GUY”. Yeah just like that, all caps:
“Great Poll numbers are springing forth for your favorite President, me, against Ron DeSanctus (& Biden). I guess people are finding out that he wanted to CUT SOCIAL SECURITY & RAISE THE MINIMUM AGE TO AT LEAST 70, at least 4 times. LIKEWISE WITH MEDICARE, WANTED BIG CUTS. HE IS A WHEELCHAIR OVER THE CLIFF KIND OF GUY, JUST LIKE HIS HERO, failed politician Paul Ryan, the FoxNews ratings destroyer who led Mitt Romney’s Presidential Campaign down the tubes. GLOBALIST’S ALL! WE WANT AMERICA FIRST!!!”
It’s despicable because it’s not true at all. Yes, Medicare and Medicaid need serious reforming and Obamacare needs to be repealed and replaced. But that doesn’t mean the programs are just going to go away and leave ‘grandma’, or anyone else for that matter, in the lurch.
But even more specifically, DeSantis did not want “BIG CUTS” from Medicare. He voted to slow Medicare spending to the tune of $473 billion over ten years. Why? Because Medicare spending continues to become a bigger part of the federal budget. At some point the money will run out and leave ‘grandma’ in the lurch if it doesn’t get reformed.
So one might conclude that any presidential candidate who isn’t willing to at least discuss reforming Medicare is the one who wants ‘grandma’ to go over the cliff someday. Just sayin…
