Proposed 2012 Budget Has Seniors Concerned

A 73 page bill coming out of the House ofRepresentatives is disconcerting to the Nation’s senior citizens. The legislation authored by Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin would change the way some entitlement programs are funded. Democrats in the Senate have mobilized an opposition to the budget proposal. The bill must make it through house committees and a hearing on the house floor before moving to the Senate. AARP Medicare expert, Nora Super, explains her concerns

Those comments came on the heels of a compromise to fund the federal government through a continuing resolution through 2011. A fiscal year in which democrats failed to put forth a budget proposal.
