President Obama Calls 700 Billion Cut From Medicare An Achievement

The RNC are running an ad that wants to point out that President Obama’s plan is to cut over $700 billion from Medicare to help pay for Obamacare, while at the same time he is demagoguing the Romney-Ryan approach to saving Medicare. “While President Obama thinks cutting $716 billion from current seniors to pay for ObamaCare is a good idea, we don’t think it’s an ‘achievement’ at all,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “Instead of serious solutions to save the program for future retirees, President Obama has raided Medicare and proposed no plan to save it. Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan understand the seriousness of the challenge and are the only ones in this race prepared to lead on this issue.”
