So let's recap:

When you said, "How do you think Medicare got $36 Trillion in the hole? It is from spending beyond its means. Year after year," that was a big fat intellectually bankrupt lie, completely wrong.

Medicare is currently running a surplus. The projected deficits have everything to do with projections about changes in demographics and increasing costs of health care, in the future.

Medicare is not currently spending beyond its means and certainly hasn't been "year after year."

And since the President and congress are about to pass legislation that will drastically affect health care in this country, including Medicare, future projections are meaningless until we see what structural changes are made to the system.

Yes?
