We have all seen how Eric Cantor is a crybaby, who throws temper-tantrums on cue for the greediest and least patriotic among us. In trying to wring huge budget cuts he is clearly showing he will sacrifice all Americans and cares nothing about really saving money but merely shifting costs onto those who can least afford it. One need merely look at the cuts his office has proposed to see that not only is he childish, he is just plain uncaring about anyone but the wealthy he represents.
RDemocrat :: Eric Cantor Childishly Slams Seniors and Rural Americans
Cantor's proposed budget cuts unsurprisingly hit the poor and rural communities hard:
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) this week presented a list of proposed cuts to the White House as part of the broader negotiations to reach a deficit-cutting deal. The cuts include lower federal payments to hospitals with many poor patients and to state Medicaid programs, new patient copayments for clinical lab work, and reduced payments to nursing homes and rural hospitals. The cuts would come on top of about $500 billion in cuts to Medicare payments made to allow passage of the 2009 health care bill.
