House Rethugs Vote to End Medicare

Even though most Rethuglicans disowned wing nut Rep. Paul "Lyin'" Ryan's last two "budgets" which gutted social safety net programs and turned Medicare into a voucher system, they can't seem to resist touching the red hot iron.  Today, they voted almost unanimously (10 Rethugs backed away) for Lyin's Ayn Rand-inspired budget, 221 - 207, which would turn Medicare into a privatized voucher system that would be absolutely inadequate for most Americans' health care needs.

Kentucky Rethuglican Rep. Thomas Massie accidentally told the truth about the "budget" they passed when he said "we know it's a pretend vote."  More pretending from the Stupid Party.  That should help them in 2014.

Deflating Ryan's Budget Proposals

Former OMB Director Peter Orzag delivers a point-by-point rebuttal to the Beltway media's mistaken view of Rethuglican VP nominee Paul "Lyin'" Ryan's budget proposals as bold and honest. Referring to his deficit reduction plan as a "Potemkin village," Orzag goes on to demonstrate how Lyin's budget proposals would undermine the middle class, explode the deficit and introduce more uncertainty into private sector decision making, among other bad things. Which is why Willard's campaign is busy trying to Etch-A-Sketch it away.
