Congress should not live by a different set of rules. Anyone who borrows money is expected to repay in a timely manner, plus interest. The money borrowed from Medicare belongs to people who worked and paid into the system, and is not an entitlement. It is only fair that we should be repaid the monies, since it did not belong to Congress in the first place. We feel like Congress has robbed us, and is saying nothing about restitution.
Why is this important?
This money was not theirs to take. This money belongs to us, not Congress.
