The Roanoke Slant

Roanoke Times, 8/24/09, Pg 1 & 14: Headlines: Social Security benefits won’t rise; “Recipients could end up with smaller check next year if Medicare drug premiums increase.

Ah yes! Those dreaded huge drug premium increases!
But diligent readers found that buried on the back page, page 14, in very fine print the projected increase is $2 per month!

Who writes these gross and misleading headlines of mis&disinformation? Do the editors of the Roanoke Times not know that Obama has czars scouring the country trying to put down purveyors of such misdirection about health care? In compliance with government direction, I have forwarded the RT web site to the white house “fishey data base” for action by Osama’s thought-police.

The Medicare drug program is called Part-D, it is a very successful and helpful program, and was a George Bush initiative that he made happen in spite of Democrat and liberal press naysayers and obstructionists.It fits that the editors of the Roanoke Times would disparage this program based on the public reaction to the Pelosi, Reid, Obamacare mess.

The simple solution to fixing this senior budgeting problem is to stop getting the Roanoke Times! At $0.75 per day and $1.75 for Sunday, folks could save $26.50 per month which almost covers the entire monthly Part-D premium of $28.
Why wasn't this solution included in the article?
