Sen. Majority Whip: ‘I Don’t Disagree With Paul Ryan’‘Reduce Costs Of Medicare’
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin praised Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) willingness to work on entitlement reform while on the Senate floor Wednesday stating, “I don’t disagree with Paul Ryan saying we have got to look honestly at Medicare.”
“If we don’t touch Medicare in about 10 or 12 years it goes broke and we can’t let that happen. So we have to look at Medicare in a sensible way to reduce the costs of Medicare,” Durbin added.

Got to decide what is essential, and shut down the rest.
Dep't of Education costs about 100 billion a year, close that. Dep't of Energy 30 billion. Right there 130 billion from 2 worthless departments created by Jimma Carter.
If you were born before 1970, the Department of Education had nothing to do with your education and you turned out all right, no?
What else don't we need...
