17% Increase in Medicare........

Do you remember the John Kerry commercial in which George Bush pledged to help Seniors on Medicare and "the very next day imposed a 17% premium increase - the biggest in history"?  That ad was a stroke of genius on Kerry's part and should have gained him many votes among the uninformed.

After some homework on the issue, it turned 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 was counting on the ignorance of the American people. Thank God we weren't duped by his mendacity.
