Being the ambulance chasing lawyer that he is, Caveman Congressman will probably sue Bubba for stealing his line.
(Daily Beast) — Bill Clinton is wading into the red-hot Medicare debate, slamming Republicans for hypocrisy but not sparing his own party.
The Third Way is back, however briefly.
At a “fiscal summit” Wednesday sponsored by the Pete Peterson Foundation, Clinton said President Obama’s effort to trim Medicare spending helped cost his party the House. “The Republicans ran to the left of the Democrats last year,” he said. “They excoriated us for all these savings now embedded in Congressman Ryan’s budget.”
Clinton threw a roundhouse right at Paul Ryan’s plan, approved by the House, to turn the health care program for the elderly into a voucher system. Not only would that approach fail to cut costs, he said, “people will use less, get sicker and die quickly. Or they will be poorer because they’ll have to spend so much of their money on health care.”
