Democrats and Republicans have been using scare language in the last week to frighten seniors about Medicare reforms, despite a plea from President Obama to stop playing politics and fix the nation’s problem with runaway entitlement spending.
Democrats have attacked Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget proposal as the end of Medicare “as we know it.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi flung the charge at Ryan in a speech on Friday.
While Pelosi’s criticism is based in fact, the tone is similar to the one Republicans have used for months to bludgeon the president’s health-care reform plan.
