Sen.Marco Rubio, Sen.Ryan and the Republican party can they Blame President Obama but if you take even a superficial look at the GOP proposals in this budget they would lead to an even bigger and more devastating impact on the most vulnerable Americans. According to Robert Greenstein founder and President of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities “The new Ryan budget is a remarkable document — one that, for most of the past half-century, would have been outside the bounds of mainstream discussion due to its extreme nature. In essence, this budget is Robin Hood in reverse — on steroids. It would likely produce the largest redistribution of income from the bottom to the top in modern U.S. history and likely increase poverty and inequality more than any other budget in recent times (and possibly in the nation’s history).”
If you want more Voodoo, trickle down,Milton Friedman “free market” economics that has produced a massive redistribution of wealth and has such a destructive effect of the working class of this Nation then the Marco Rubeo backed, Ryan budget is for you.

@whasup:

“”"Maybe if the President had acted to cut the huge percentage of wasted money flowing through Medicare, somebody would listen to him and his minions.”"”

OMG.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID!

$500B taken out of payments to Medicare doctors and hospitals.

You would know that if you weren’t too busy watching Fox News.

Republicans want to KILL MEDICARE.

This would literally KILL SENIOR CITIZENS.

Enough is enough.

We need to protect the American people — particularly the most vulnerable — and not treat them like CHATTEL to be bought and sold by mega-corporations.

The only way to protect our seniors from the GOP is to VOTE VOTE VOTE in massive numbers to REMOVE the Republicans from our government. ALL OF THEM.

Oh lookie, the Democrats are trying to scare little old people again … and in Florida, of course.

Can’t they update their campaign playbook?

What they won’t admit is that their national socialist health care plan (Obamacare) is what scared seniors a couple of years ago. And rightly so!

The Democrats just want to keep the Ponzi scheme going, all the while pumping excess money, through bureaucratic waste, into the health care system which uses everyone–especially seniors–as tools to put more taxpayers money into their own greedy health care provider pockets.

Maybe if the President had acted to cut the huge percentage of wasted money flowing through Medicare, somebody would listen to him and his minions.
