SCANLON: Picking seniors’ pockets

AARP doesn’t care about elderly members

At the same time, AARP gave its enthusiastic support for Obamacare, which would slash $500 billion from Medicare’s budget. AARP’s cheerleading for President Obama’s socialist health care plan was decisive.

Without that support, the Medicare-cutting package probably wouldn’t have been approved by Congress and the millions of seniors that AARP claims to represent would have been better off.
