Two snippets from Wednesday's New York Times piece contending that Republicans have "embraced" plans to cut Social Security and Medicare
- The fact that Republicans are openly talking about cutting the programs has galvanized Democrats in the final weeks of the midterm campaign
- Several influential Republicans have signaled a new willingness to push for Medicare and Social Security spending cuts
- However, there is no plan or campaign or reform effort aimed at slashing or weaning us off entitlements
- Whenever Democrats latch onto some new scaremongering effort -- "saving democracy" or "voting rights," or whatever hysteria is being flouted -- establishment media instantly take up the issue, often ham-fistedly backfilling the accusations with alleged reporting
