The then-horror of Medicare/caid cuts, not now

(From Rich Lowry at NRO): Senate Republicans are sending this around:

DEMS ON MEDICARE CUTS: “IMMORAL,” “CRUEL”

Senate Dems Seek To Embrace Nearly A Half Trillion In Medicare Cuts Yet Just 4 Years Ago Called A Fraction Of That “Immoral” And “Cruel”

SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): “Unfortunately, The Republican Budget Is An Immoral Document. … Let's Look At What Is In The Bill Before Us. The Budget Increases Burdens On America's Seniors By Increasing Medicare Premiums, And We Have Not Seen What The House Is Going To Give Us. It Cuts Health Care, Both Medicare And Medicaid, By A Total Of $27 Billion.” (Sen. Reid, Congressional Record, S.12286, 11/3/05)

(Me) How two-faced for Dems to happily sign on to the charade that half a trillion dollars cut from Medicare aren't outrageous, and won't cut medical care for seniors.
