President Barack Obama said Wednesday that congressional Republicans are pushing a radical plan to trim Medicare and Medicaid, ramping up the rhetoric as he and Congress approach crucial decisions on spending and the nation’s debt.http://wnyt.com/article/stories/S2077933.shtml?cat=300
"I think it’s fair to say that their vision is radical," Obama told a town hall gathering at the headquarters of Facebook, the huge social network company.
"I don’t think it’s particularly courageous," he said of the GOP plan to convert Medicare to a voucher program and make big cuts to the federal-state Medicaid program for the poor.
Remember during the healthcare debate, when the media said it was inappropriate to call Obama and his plans "radical"?
