Cantor: We Can’t Keep Medicare Promise For Young People
Brian Beutler | August 3, 2011, 4:00PM

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA)


Republicans' pledge to never raise taxes is inviolable whereas the government's pledge to provide retirees with health care will have to be broken at some point, according to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. And we'll see evidence of this, he hinted, if and when the House of Representatives refuses to pass future deficit reduction legislation if it calls for bringing new tax revenue into the Treasury.

In a meeting with editors of the Wall Street Journal, Cantor said Americans must "come to grips with the fact that promises have been made that frankly are not going to be kept for many."

The Republican plan for dealing with the exploding cost of health care is to phase out Medicare and replace it with a system of subsidized private insurance for elderly Americans, starting when people currently 55 and under reach retirement age. "The rest of us have got ample time to try and plan our lives so that we can adjust to reality here when you look at the numbers," Cantor said. "Again the math doesn't lie."

1. Cantor and the district he represents need to hear what the

country thinks of them. This shit he is saying was said the day Medicare came into being, by other Republicans. All he is doing is repeating what Wendle Wilke said about Social Security in 1940. 70 years ago. Working on a century of the same talking points from the GOP.
The folks who elected Cantor must be dumb as a box of rocks.

6. Dear Eric Cantor

You want to take medicare away from those who have been paying into the system their whole lives? Don't be surprised if they show up at your house demanding to be repaid for their lifetime of contributions. Hope you have the cash ready.

9. Given how "Cool" he looks...I guess he never met the "Block Bully."

Probably his parents had a Limosene pick him up from home...deliver him to school and then take him off to "choice after school activities."

I'm sure that I must be wrong about this...and he grew up poor and his father was Union and his Mother was a Teacher...and both of them thought that most Americans "were on the dole ...getting funds they didn't deserve.

Whatever...He's creepy.
