Romney's MediScare

Mitt Romney's criticism of President Obama for supposedly cutting $500 billion from Medicare is the subject of my column this week. "Just to be precise, far from cutting $500 billion from Medicare, President Obama has, in a mere three years, managed to increase Medicare spending to $494 billion in 2011 from $391 billion in 2008. That is an increase of $103 billion, or 26% in three years." Please check it out at Reason.com (here) or at the New York Sun (here).
