Each and every time, and the attack on Medicare serves two purposes. They want to give it to Wall Street yes, but it's also another shock doctrine maneuver. While this "crises" is going on, Republicans are going to sneak in ways to help manipulate voting at the federal level. They're going after voting. That's their end game.

If they can move Medicare to Wall Street, or more of it at least, well that's just gravy.
