(19,458 posts)that's the thing I think everyone is missing. This is a budget, and once it gets going... there will be changes. Can anyone REALLY trust them to leave it alone after 55?? Of course not. They'll find other ways to screw you, but taking away prescription coverage, losing the long term care funding.
They have shown that their ideology is that the non-billionaires need to have their services cut, their taxes raised, their programs gutted. Even if I was over 55, I would NOT trust them in the least that they won't touch it. They've already signaled that they are 'doing you a favor' by not applying it if you're over 55.. but that is JUST a campaign promise. And it's only being done to WIN the over 55 vote.
Basically that budget is a Cookbook.. "To Serve (the Elderly) Man"
