Have you seen the John Kerry commercial in which George Bush pledges to
help
Seniors on Medicare and "the very next day imposes a 17% premium
ncrease -
the biggest in history"? That ad is a stoke of genius on Kerry's part and
will surely gain him many votes among the uninformed.

It was found to be so amazing that someone did some homework on the issue.
As it turns out the 17% increase was not imposed by President Bush but was
mandated by the "balanced budget agreement" signed by President Clinton,
voted into law by Senator John Kerry, and was scheduled to come into
effect
during the Bush administration. President Bush had no authority to
reverse
what had been voted into law by Senator Kerry during the Clinton
administration.

Once again Kerry is counting on the ignorance of the American people.

Don't be duped by his misstatement of facts!


Haven't the Repuglicans controlled the House and Senate for the past two
years with Bush (asleep) at the helm? Why didn't they vote to roll back the
increase? My guess is there aren't enough millionaires on Medicare to do
the lobbying.
