"SNIP..........


Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) told radio host Ross Kaminsky that Republicans will next try to reduce spending on Medicare, Medicaid and anti-poverty programs in an effort to reduce America’s deficit.

Said Ryan: “We’re going to have to get back next year at entitlement reform, which is how you tackle the debt and the deficit… Frankly, it’s the health care entitlements that are the big drivers of our debt, so we spend more time on the health care entitlements — because that’s really where the problem lies, fiscally speaking.”

5. Gosh how shocking,but Dems haven't got time to worry about that....

For some reason they need to work hard to make sure one of our 48 votes goes out the window.

[Guilded Lilly]

6. Who do they think is actually surprised by this? Really. Anyone?

[MiniMe]

7. Or perhaps, we don't give those tax breaks to the richest among us to explode the debt

I think that would be a better solution.

[onecaliberal]

8. Sure, why not. Democrats will hand it over on a silver platter. They don't need it so who cares.

[SoCalDem]

9. Is ANYONE surprised?

That's the republican way...

Daddy blows his paycheck on golf, gambling, booze parties with his pals, and Momma gets less food money...

That's how "starve the beast" works


dems build up a surplus or pay down debt frugally

repubs blow into town and want TAX CUTS (for their pals/donors only)

since the nest egg is gone, they HAVE to cut elsewhere

rinse repeat (FOR DECADES)
