On Hartmann $500 Million Cut Social Security Administration To Gut Service To Recipients.

The GOP will stop your checks by the back door. A $500 million dollar cut to the Social Security Administration could delay checks and slow down Medicare payments. Plus 4% cut in pay to doctors could make getting a doctor much more difficult.

Besides scaring the hell out of people about GOP is perfectly appropriate.

6. Actually, there is nothing like that in their budget. And SS "checks" won't be slowed down.

The 4% cut is also conjecture that arose out of the tax cut.

There is plenty of stuff to bash GOPers over without resorting to BS, like they do.

If you want to play moralist, then be consistent and show us your own income first.

I've never heard him utter anything that hasn't been accepted political philosophy here at DU.

Please take the last word because I'm done with your Hartmann bashing.

Everything I’ve heard is not-so-subtle undermining. It makes sense that RT was attracted to him. And I haven’t read much of him here except the usual Dem bashing. Sorry. I don’t listen to him regularly, though. But enough to know and see he is hypocritical and guarded about his income. He gets paid for his “work”. I find it hard to understand why people don’t question his propaganda.

makes great sense to feed the tidal wave, no so much sense if you are conservative looking to be elected
