Russel Hanson is the pen name of a writer in Washington, D.C.

Content: The report details several others. This chicanery says nothing of the scare tactics and propaganda that AARP is pushing on seniors against the Republican budget authored by Rep. Paul Ryan. In one shameful television ad, AARP impliess that Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare. " You've worked hard your entire life," the ad says as melancholy music plays in the background. " Paid your dues, raised a family. You've earned a little peace of mind. Now, some in Congress want to make harmful cuts to Medicare and Social Security, cutting your benefits so Washington can pay its bills." The voiceover goes on as seniors look forlornly into the camera. It is obvious that AARP is referring to the Paul Ryan budget, since that is the only high-profile plan yet that attempts to reform Medicare. After all, the Democrats haven't passed a budget at all for nearly two years.
