Ryan Will "End Medicare As We Know It" ?

In psychology, it is well known that you can condition one's mind through word associations and the constant repetition of those associations.   When it comes to Paul Ryan and his Medicare reform planning, the Democrats have consistently repeated the phrase "end Medicare as we know it".  If you don't think so, just go to YouTube and search on those very words.  You will find, video after video, from Obama on down, Democrat after Democrat, like the lemmings they are, using those exact same words when talking about the GOP or Paul Ryan's attempts to reform or save Medicare..

Of course, logically, any change to Medicare would "end Medicare as we know it".  So, basically,  the Democrats have decided on this particular phraseology to block any changes.  Yet, Medicare is in trouble and, if not 'ended as we know it,' it will go bankrupt at least by 2024; just 12 years from now. Note this report from CNBC last year:



I find it utterly disgusting that the Democrats are willing to let Medicare go belly up when it could be saved through some moderate changes as being proposed by Paul Ryan and the GOP.  What is the Democrat's strategy?  Just let it go insolvent and then raise taxes -- on the rich, of course -- to save Medicare.  But ask yourself this: At what point do you run out of the rich's money to save all these floundering social programs like Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, and Food Stamps? Probably not too long from now with the way that Obama and the Democrats have spent money in the last 3-1/2 years.
