'Wrecking ball' wrong approach to reform (OneNewsNow.com): "The president of a non-partisan seniors' advocacy group says two U.S. senators who decided not to seek re-election are the first victims of a senior citizen tsunami.
Democratic Senators Byron Dorgan (North Dakota) and Chris Dodd (Connecticut), members of their party's leadership on Capitol Hill, have both announced they will not seek re-election. They were among the Democratic majority in the Senate that voted en masse for the controversial healthcare reform bill just before Christmas.
60 Plus logoJim Martin, president of the 60 Plus Association, says senior citizens are outraged over the proposed healthcare reform. 'They're upset [and] they feel betrayed by these massive cuts to Medicare -- and that's what it amounts to,' he states. 'We're talking about half-a-trillion dollars worth of cuts to Medicare.'"
