And more than half the funding – $483 billion – is allegedly going to come from reduced spending on Medicare and related programs. Nothing in lawmakers’ history on entitlement spending – they just raised Social Security checks higher than required by funding formulas – indicates the Medicare reductions would ever happen" Quotes-end.png
