One way to put money back in middle class pockets would be to cut the Medicare tax rate and follow this up with marginal coverage cuts. Trump and a GOP legislature might find this an attractive reform.

They will never never never cut the Medicare tax. They loves that flat tax with an income cap! Those are their most favorite taxes of all!

What makes you think anyone has putting money INTO middle class pockets as a goal?

Read your Krugman today?

Appearances are important.

True except slow payments, but they and insurance want to eliminate oversight.

Not that important.

I will bet my house the Republicans will never cut the Medicare tax.

Appearances are what count in politics.

Saying some 'one thing' is what counts is generally way too simplistic.

The Republicans will never never never cut the Medicare tax.

I agree.

Like you said, it's regressive and that's the kind of tax Republicans love.

Regan actually raised it back in the 80's when he cut the federal income tax.

Don't recall saying they would and there's nothing simplistic about the importance of appearances. Politicians go to great trouble making things appear to be what they aren't.

That's for sure.

For example.

"Department of Defense" should be named "Department of Offense"

"Child Nutrition Program" should be called "The Free Lunch Program"

There are many many others.
