Senate's No. 2 Democrat calls for cuts to social safety net

[John2]

22. No

he isn't. You are taking her edited view of what he actually said. She took it out of context. The part she edited was that Durbin actually said , Social Security should not be part of the talks and Medicare and Medicaid should take more extensive talks. He also said, there are ways that they can strengthen those programs by cutting out waste. That is where her deception is about cutting the program. There is a difference between cutting waste and cutting benefits. He even gave an example of it. He said that you can cut the cost of prescription drugs for recipients and the unnecessary costs that go to service providers who overcharge medicare recipients, much in the same way Obamacare erased the donut hole. The reporter just manipulated what he said, to get her own view out. If I was another reporter, I heard it different. Don't trust every reporter you hear because many do have an agenda these days.
