I find it funny that you missed the point entirely, and then neg repped me for not reading. That's funny on a number of levels.
"The numbers" you're talking about are completely moot if "the numbers" you're ignoring aren't reconciled.
Our bloated entitlement system is not sustainable. People who are against reforming it are actually the ones who are in favor of ending them permanently. The three pack a day smoker is going to quit smoking eventually (one way...or another), it's just a matter of whether he wants to survive and recover. I'm sorry you miss that in our political debate, and I'm sorry you missed it on this thread. Like I said, funny on a number of levels.

I've never seen such happiness over a rather insignificant victory. There were a lot of factors in this election. Medicare was one of many. The jerkoff incumbent was another. The phony Tea Party candidate was another. The winner's opposition to Obamacare was another.
And as I said in another thread, it's NY so WGAF.
Arlington, you really expect us to buy this? What really happened is a bogus tea party candidate split the vote, the Republican ran a very weak campaign (thinking she had it in the bag) and the Dem won. If you want to believe this election that most people didn't know about and would not have known about if the Dem had won signals a sea change and negates the 2010 elections then have at it.
Spoken just like a head in the sand Dem after Scott Brown won Teddy Kennedy's seat.

"legally make all citizens pay the necessary amount"
Bad analysis, ELC. Even the hard right concedes that this election was essentially a referendum on Medicare that they lost. Those other factors were meaningless by comparison. Just look at the exit polling.
The GOP damn well better learn from this rebuke rather than deny it happened, or they'll blow a lot of winnable races.
It's okay, you can take back the "all"; we...all...know you didn't mean it.

The GOP certainly buys it, if you review many candid reactions after the election.
It doesn't signal any "sea change," it signals that the GOP badly miscalculated the public reaction to threats to Medicare among likely voters.
