I see the GOP house has a clear plan for the future

Kill the old and poor people

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan would, if enacted into law, wrestle the deficit to a manageable size in short order, but only by cutting Medicaid, food stamps, Pell Grants and a host of other programs that Obama has promised to protect.


A genius combination of slashing cuts to safety net programs for the poor with sharply lower tax rates in an election-year manifesto painting clear campaign

Sure going to be a great future for all the young that grow up poor, unfed and uneducated. I'm sure that will open up the US economic future at the same time it should be a big boost to one of the biggest growing areas of the economy at present, medical companies. I guess all the rich can act like Mitt Romney and invest their new tax free money overseas. Why invest it here in a country about to be filled with the ill, the poorly educated, the starving and the homeless. Republicans plan to cut spending that goes directly into the economy for tax cuts that don't. That's not even good economics. It's just MEAN.

Why aren't Republicans fiscally conservative or even pretending to like Americans. That people like Ryan get elected is unreal to me. This guy hates the vast majority of people he represents.

pass a bunch of Jim Crow laws to prevent the poor, elderly, students and working class from voting. Then you don't worry about it so much.
