Note to politicians: Anything you write on the internet is on the record. For instance, if you suggest government "should stop messing with health care," assume that might get some attention.

Maybe Rep. Tim Jones can explain to Missouri seniors and underprivileged children why he thinks they shouldn't receive help with their health care costs. Plus, polling in Missouri shows that 77 percent of Missourians are opposed to cutting Medicare and 63 percent are opposed to cutting Medicaid.
