Paul Ryan Budget: Did He Forget About the Election
Is it just me or did Paul Ryan forget that he and Mitt lost the 2012 election. This version of the Ryan House budget is just more of the same that we the people didn't vote for in November. Can the GOP really be serious by letting Ryan submit a budget where 50% of the cuts affect programs for the poor and the elderly.
Block Granting Medicaid to the states just effectively cripples the program which is the backbone of Obamacare. Oh did I forget to mention that the repeal of Obamacare is the center piece of the Ryan Budget. Even Chris Wallace told him that's not going to happen. Funding Medicaid by Block Grant when the GOP is already starving the states and cities is not what we voted for.
Also, as a 53 yr old woman I absolutely do not want a voucher for Medicare. For Ryan to not get it that someone my age did not do financial planning with a destroyed Medicare in mind just shows that the GOP is the party of the rich.
We progressives have got to stand up and let our elected representation know that we will not stand for our social safety net to be shredded. It is time for large corporations and the wealthy to stop sucking the life blood out of our country. It is time for them to recognize that in the last 2 decades they have created generational wealth for themselves and their families and they have enough.
The United States is at the crossroads and we the people spoke in November about which direction we want our country to take. We want major US companies to pay a living wage along with their fair share of taxes. We want tax loopholes for the wealthy to be closed so the rich pay their fair share of taxes as well.
The Ryan budget needs to be trashed and a budget that reflects the will of the people needs to be passed. I for one have had enough of the GOP acting like President Obama was not re-elected and that they can just keep on running with the same policies that we rejected in the election.
