The Canard Over Current Seniors

by Chris Bodenner

In a similar fashion as Anderson pressing Newt over false claims against Obama on welfare, Wolf Blitzer doesn't let the DNC chairwoman get away with obscuring the truth over Paul Ryan's cut-off age for Medicare cuts:

Guy Benson narrates:

[Debbie Wasserman Schultz] stubbornly rejects the (correct) premise that the Romney/Ryan Medicare reform plan exempts everyone over the age of 54, and plays fast and loose with numbers — conflating 55 and 65 on several occasions.  When she is brow-beaten into finally acknowledging — if not admitting — the truth around the 3:45 mark, she quickly realizes her "mistake" and reverts back into denialism.  When Blitzer asks her to specify exactly how current or soon-to-be seniors would be impacted by the GOP plan, she cannot.  Because they're not. 

… Dear Democrats, Medicare is slated to go bankrupt in 2024.  You say it's wrong for future seniors to be denied Medicare as it currently exists.  Okay, what's your plan, guys?
