From Washington Post: (click for full article)
This analysis of Mitt Romney’s budget promises was originally posted on August 14. But with Romney set to officially accept the GOP nomination for president tonight, it’s worth taking another close look at the policy proposal he’s placed at the center of his campaign.
The Republican budget might keep President Obama’s cuts to Medicare. But a Romney administration wouldn’t.
Lanhee Chen, the campaign’s policy director, left no room for doubt in his statement: “A Romney-Ryan Administration will restore the funding to Medicare, ensure that no changes are made to the program for those 55 or older, and implement the reforms that they have proposed to strengthen it for future generations.”
Avik Roy, a health-care policy adviser to Romney, doubles down. “Whatever you think of Obamacare’s cuts to Medicare, the fact is that a Romney administration would repeal them,” he writes.
But then how will a Romney administration make its budget math add up?

Attention Anyone who is tried of the goverment always making cuts to medicare & Social Security. First of they were never subpose to barrow money from Social Security, That money is the working people's. That is money we have paid in every paycheck for as long as we work. We also paid in to Medicare. They have already cut out dental care, eyecare. enough is enough. I think everybody needs to let them know that this is our money that we've paid in all our lives & not there's to take away from the people or to make cuts. This belongs to the peolpe not the goverment.
