this so called deal gets to take 700 million out of MEDICARE and it locks in the depreciation of this benefit for 6 years----------

THAT's -----4.2 TRILLION in LOST BENEFIT PAYMENTS GOING to some OLIGARPHY---------why isn't this being mentioned -this is more than outrageous

What does Medicare have to do with trade and the money that millions of us have paid into that social program, we, now get 80/20 in benefits----cheap, now most companies are 65/35 or 70/30 for there employees, see the correlation folks.

I think every democrat needs to explain to us why they support this bottom feeding gut cutting legislation to give to the rich, the oligarpghy class, this is pure unadulterated hypocrisy.

That this will further legislation is just like the funding for Amtrak------it getting cut, they are trying to privatize it to the demise to make the MIDDLE CLASS to the POOR CLASS----------why do they not like ME or YOU--------I did nothing to them ------------nothing
