Paul Ryan's Epic Fail

Please don't make us listen to the people who kept two wars off the books to make spending look lower than it was lecture us about fiscal responsibility. Kirsten Powers http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2011-04-19/paul-ryan-house-republican-study-committee-budget-backfires-on-gop/#

Paul Ryan voted with George Bush 94% of the time.  Voted YES on authorizing the use of force in Iraq.  Voted YES on the budget busting Medicare Par D of 2003; the big pharma giveaway.  Voted YES on the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.  None, zero, nothing of those acts were paid for.  For 8 years George Bush with the bobblehead consent of Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan  and John Boehner went on a charge card binge.  Two wars, huge tax cuts for the wealthy and Medicare Part D is the reason we have a deficit to begin with.  
They took a budget surplus and turned us into a debtor nation and now they want us to believe they care about deficits?  Hypocrisy is way to mild to describe their cynical  self-serving onanistic behavior.

GOP pulling the plug on grandma by eliminating Medicare

Remember Chuck Grassley R-Iowa saying this in the midst of the healthcare fight?
“In the House bill, there is counseling for end of life,” Grassley said. “You have every right to fear. You shouldn’t have counseling at the end of life, you should have done that 20 years before. Should not have a government run plan to decide when to pull the plug on grandma”

Yesterday the house Repukes voted overwhelmingly to adopt Paul Ryan's budget which "pulls the plug on grandma".   Highlights of Ryan's plan: eliminate medicare and cut taxes on the wealthy. Too bad about grandma losing her life support.   We just can't afford healthcare for the elderly when we allow corporations like GE to avoid paying taxes.  Taxes on the wealthy are at their lowest level since 1931.   However, that's not low enough for Paul Ryan and Chuck Grassley even if it means "pulling the plug on grandma" and taking food out of the mouths of underprivileged children.
