Why did the GOP cheer Medicare Part D?

The bill capped expenditures at a whopping 400 billion dollars over 10 years and is now at 852 billion for 10 years, dwarfing the cost of the ACA. Still on board Cons? Of course you are, it's the kind of government giveaway you seniors love.

Update:

Ha! They sure as hell did cheer it. It was their bill! Republicans in congress fell all over themselves praising the virtues of part D. Get educated Cons.

    It allowed medication producers to charge Medicare whatever they wanted, instead of negotiating for a better price; and criminalized buying cheaper medication in Canada. So basically it let corporations rape the federal budget.

    They also praised Bush extending the enrollment deadline for an entire YEAR, while whining about Obama expanding the ACA deadline by a mere two weeks. Hypocrites.

    Because GW Bush was white and had a (R) next to his name.

    He read The Pet Goat while Reagan's al qaeda buddies carried out th 9/11 attacks. Then he spent the next 8 years dancing on his 9/11 victims' graves.
