Presidential Debate
While watching
the debate there are things I agreed with from both parties. One thing that
Obama said that was reassuring was that the basic structure of the social
security system was sound. Obama spoke about Medicare and what an important
role that played in his grandmothers life and how all senior citizens should be
entitled to Medicare. One thing that the
Romney said that I didn’t agree with is that there would be no change made in
current retires to Medicare which I
don’t think is fair to senior citizens. Another thing I liked about Obama was
that he purposed a plan will cut the deficit by 3.8 trillion costs. Rodney
purposed the idea of keeping costs for colleges low which I think is great it
will give more people a chance to better their education. I think both parties had good arguments and
good plans but at the end of the day Obama will have my vote.
Hi Chloe--good focus on social security and medicare--both big topics that the two have different attitudes toward, different plans. I think Romney's comment that for those who have medicare nothing will change is meant to reassure those people. But behind it is the threat that for your parents and you, for example, there will be cuts when you need support--ie when retiring!Right now everyone over 65 gets medicare and doctors have to honor it!
