Cuts in medicare should never be acceptable to radicals. It is interesting to see that some left liberals

actually support such a backward thing, when the better thing to do is, as Shane Mage, says, expand Medicare

to all and make it more generous. When workers were on strike against Hormel in Austin, MN, I had to listen

to an old labor activist say that the workers at Hormel, which was the industry's profit leader, were undermining their

union brothers and sisters by not accepting the concessions their union (mis)leaders had accepted for workers

at other meatpacking companies. Same logic as is offered by liberals who favor Obama's healthcare ideas.
