They choose the tax cuts over extending the solvency of Social Security and Medicare,

Majority Leader Daschle misspoke this morning when he said the Bush administration would dip into Social Security and Medicare funds.

Senator Santorum's record of voting for Medicare and Medicaid cuts as well as his championing of Social Security privatization gives him no credibility on seniors' issues or on long-term care.
