Medicare Slasher Nancy Pelosi Vows Not to Cut Medicare

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi vows not to cut Medicare.  From Politico:

“There is a bipartisan discussion going on that is civil and constructive, and that they’ve come to some areas where they can possibly reach agreement. But nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to,” the California Democrat said.“But I welcome this line of questioning because this is a place where we’re looking how we go forward with a sound fiscal policy to reduce the deficit,” she added, “and I could never support any arrangement that reduce benefits  for Medicare.”

Here’s the thing, she was principally responsible for pushing through Obamacare that has $500 billion in Medicare cuts and establishes the euphemistically named Star Chamber, Independent Payment Advisory Board to slash and burn delivery of Medicare services. Pelosi’s vow is like Genghis Kahn saying he wouldn’t invade Europe from his throne in Kiev.  Good grief.

Oh, just a day or two later, she now says Medicare cuts are “on the table.”
