Start burning those AARP cards
President Bush signed the Medicare Reform bill into law today. Since I am a bit south of retirement age, I have not paid much attention to the bill. I'm not so hopelessly partisan as to say something like, "it's the worse piece of age discrimination ever concocted by an administration against the elderly." I do know that those who were alive for Vietnam era protests (the nerve!) are eligible to be AARP members. That may explain the long line of AARP memberships revoked after the AARP came out in support of the reform bill. Next we'll see seniors burning their AARP member cards and singing protest songs about getting cheap drugs. Hmmm, things really don't change all that much, do they?
