RUSH: Are you sick and tired yet of hearing how Paul Ryan wants to kill Medicare? You know what\u2019s going to kill Medicare is Medicare. Medicare is going to eat itself. Medicare is going to implode if something isn\u2019t done about it, unless somebody does something to save it. And I\u2019ll tell you, I had a thought develop yesterday when we were discussing the $700 billion that Obama cuts from Medicare. It\u2019s not just that he took $700 billion from Medicare. He put that $700 billion elsewhere. Obama is robbing Medicare. Obama is the guy that\u2019s robbing money from Medicare. <\/p>\n
By the time it\u2019s all said and done, when you factor interest over a number of years, you could accurately say that Obama is taking a trillion dollars out of Medicare and putting it elsewhere in Obamacare. It\u2019s not just an accounting move. It\u2019s a real transfer of money, in order to keep the overall reported cost down. I remember yesterday having so much trouble convincing people of this, because the meme is out there that Ryan\u2019s budget cuts Medicare. <\/p>\n
