To the Spouter from Cape May who said: "Sunsetting" does not eliminate a program, it just gets reauthorized every 5 years". Really? "Sunsetting" - "subject (a program, agency, regulation, etc.) to a legal provision under which it is TERMINATED AUTOMATICALLY at the end of a fixed period, unless renewed by legislative action." It gives R's leverage to meddle with seniors benefits on an ongoing basis, or else eliminate it. The Pentagon is a poor example, why didn't you use the ACA? R's sure wanted to eliminate that program, didn't they? The R's control you through your own gullibility.
