BarryLS1,

Avram in MD: Also, a big difference. Taxing retiree benefits for the elderly with higher incomes is vastly different than a real dollar cut for lower income elderly.

Your original statement referenced cuts in general, so this seems to me like moving the goalposts, but ok. To what are you referring specifically when you say a real dollar cut for lower income elderly?

Give us an example of Republican lying to the elderly using scare tactics about their source of income.

Who says Republicans use the same scare tactics as Democrats?
