Waste in the health care system and even if just a few of work, we ll save an enormous amount of money and go a listening way to saving the fiscal problem. jonathan, it seems, though, democrats have made medicare something of a sacred cow and maybe to their own peril. i ll quote david kendall with a post up in the washington post. he s senior fellow at third way. he basically says, look, medicare will have to be trimmed and many democrats see that as a concession. you need to fix medicare to save it. which should be something that all democrats want to do. are democrats sort of losing sight of the goal here to preserve medicare and you can do by making it less expensive and more cost effective and improve the quality? well, i don t think they re losing sight at all. let s rewind the clock about, oh, a month, two months. you know, before the election. you may recall hearing all the time, you know, mitt romney and the republicans going after obama for that $700 billion in
Many times, the main stream media, you heard mitt romney has to get specific. we heard details last night where mitt romney would like to reform our tax system and here s how he would do it, listen. the current rates less 20 percent. so the top rate would go from 35 to 28 middle rates would go down 20 percent. but least people think there is a huge reduction. we ll also limit reductions and exempses particularly on the high end. tax rate for everyone in your plan would go down steve: he also talked about how to fix medicare and social security where he said that you know, if you have a lot of mon yemaking more income, you will pay more . if you don t make so much you pay less.

Romney and mr. ryan on their plan to fix medicare. i thought this was interesting . if the same share of americans are in the office. the actul unemployment rate would be len and half percent. underemployment figure is the number of people who have begin up working or have taken a part-time job currently at 14.7 percent. and the participation rate of people in the work force is in the lowest level in 30iers. brian: that goes to your point gretchen. president obama has a great shot of winning, as bill clinton said. you don t need president obama or mitt romney speak. i have to change this and i think the other guy can do it steve: you have a neighbor that is impacted with that.
