Republican Lies Thwart Attempts to Reach Democratic Ideal of Educated Citizenry

Republican Lies Thwart Attempts to Reach Democratic Ideal of Educated Citizenry
"Senator Lindsey Graham is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to lying about the state of America’s social welfare programs.
In an interview on CBS’ Face the Nation last December, Graham said that, “I think we’re going over the cliff. It’s pretty clear to me they made a political calculation. This offer doesn’t remotely deal with entitlement reform in a way to save Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security from imminent bankruptcy. It raises $1.6 trillion on job creators that will destroy the economy and there are no spending controls" The Senator couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are all doing just fine, and are far from going broke."
