How do we fill that in? Cazart! Medicare has to borrow!
And you don't even have a fucking argument to what I said before about doubling effect of more subsidized people going on the rolls and coming off the "contributor" rolls.
You are again talking out your fucking ass. Every time you get pinned it's the same shit. You reply with something cryptic that's actually a non-response. Now that I've cited that disingenuous device, you'll shift and offer some copious pile of bullshit still failing to address what I've written, then top it off with some smug pronouncement about how little I understand.
Money ain't there. Spending is, and it's now getting bigger. Cuts were based on estimates of cash on hand. They no longer bridge the gap they were supposed to. Telling me over and over "It's paid for by cuts!" (which isn't even true, but I'll leave alone here) isn't a response. Rather than repeating the same statement and admitting your powers of analysis are for shit on this, you'd do much better to simply not respond.

See my response to your other post. You are comparing the world we're in to a fantasy dreamland, where prepubescent girls cavort with unicorns, waiters in tails bring you cupcakes and champagne, and Congress was going to make massive cuts in Medicare just to balance the budget.
The cuts in HCR were designed to pay for HCR. They more than do that. All you are saying is that in other respects the economy has gotten worse and so we have less money. True. True, but completely irrelevant, except in your fantasy world. Have another cupcake.
