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.
