Bush Hates Grandmas
If your eyes glaze over whenever Bush mentions 'medicare', here's what he said about it, merely four days ago, during his nomination speech:
I believe we have a moral responsibility to honor America's seniors, so I brought Republicans and Democrats together to strengthen Medicare. Now seniors are getting immediate help buying medicine.
But then a funny thing happened this Monday.
Medicare premiums will rise 17.4 percent next year, or $11.60 a month, the largest dollar increase in the program's 40-year history, the U.S. Health and Human Services Department said Friday.
It may not be much, but it brings the monthly total to nearly $80.00 a month taken from Grandpa's retirement check. And that means fewer carmels to enjoy when you visit. Why don't you ever visit?"
