Talk about fear-mongering?
The far left group AARP is running ads claiming the current debt negotiations will result in “Social Security and Medicare benefits seniors have earned through a lifetime of hard work.”
The group is running national television ads:
From the AARP website:
Right now, President Obama and Congress are considering a deal to pay the nation’s bills that could cut the Social Security and Medicare benefits seniors have earned through a lifetime of hard work.
One proposal would cut the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) — a change that would cost seniors thousands of dollars over their lifetimes…
This is the same group that supported Obamacare – a plan that cut $500 billion from Medicare.
Then again, it was later discovered that AARP stands to reap an extra billion dollars in profits from ObamaCare. Worse, this extra profit is largely BECAUSE of the Medicare cuts.
Typical leftists.
