Liberal (?) Center for Budget and Policy Priorities fawns over Gang of Six

Conclusion

Overall, the Gang of Six plan marks an important step forward. It contains a number of positive elements and appears to be the most balanced of the major plans now on the table. However, its option for $500 billion in health care cuts and its call for repeal of the CLASS Act raise serious concern; they are ill-advised provisions that the plan would be much better off without.

So gutting Medicare, Medicaid and long-term care (the CLASS Act) is "ill-advised"? What's next? A sternly worded letter? :grr:
