House Budget Plan: It’s The Spending, Stupid

Fiscal Policy: House Republicans have a budget plan that would balance the budget in 10 years entirely through spending cuts. But it’s not likely to go anywhere because of the $30 billion in extra spending this year.

How can they (GOP insiders) criticize Donald Trump for being openly sympathetic to Planned Parenthood when they repeatedly fund it as they talk bad about it?

On the entitlement side, the House budget plan leaves Social Security largely untouched, but once again proposes reforming Medicare along the lines that Rep. Paul Ryan has advocated for years. It would give seniors a fixed amount that they can put toward a private plan of their choice.

And how much would that fixed amount be? How much would a health insurance plan that matches Medicare coverage cost? How can you arrive at that figure when no health insurance companies sell policies to people 65 and older?

Kabuki theatre!!

The dirty little secret is that the Republican Party has long been a champion of Planned Parenthood's agenda.

Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger as a part of a eugenics movement to eradicate "inferior" races and ethnic groups. I don't know why anyone think the white, male leadership in a secular nation like the United States ever had any intention of de-funding that organization.

SO sadly coutinuingly true. PRyno desparitely needs to be Cantorized this Fall.

“How can they (GOP insiders) criticize Donald Trump for being openly sympathetic to Planned Parenthood when they repeatedly fund it as they talk bad about it?”

Good point but I’ll one up it:

How can they (GOP insiders) criticize Donald Trump for not being conservative when they repeatedly talk like conservatives and govern like liberals? Let’s put it this way: If they proposed cutting the budget for 10 straight years and then at the end, adding 30 billion in spending we might talk about it. We are on to the game of “We’ll increase a little more this year and cut next year and the years after. We PROMISE.”

94 Million people not working but eating.....working folks are tired of paying the the Lazy SOB’s free ride. Did you ever notice that people on Welfare or Food Stamps are always Fat and very much over weight. How about some Woke Fare....do something to get your free ride.

Why do we have to feed everyone and then pay for their abortions???

What exactly are you trying to say?
I'm a white male in the secular US and think PP is abhorrent.

The way things are the bums if required to work would soon have back problems and go on disability.

“Why do we have to feed everyone and then pay for their abortions???”

To atone for centuries of white oppression which led to the existence, and persisting, patricarchal white privilege. Welfare is a nice first step but what they really deserve is reparations.

No, seriously. That’s what they think.

Then you shouldn't be a Republican.

That was pretty simple, wasn't it?

No, it was pretty simplistic. Big difference.

I cannot stand to even look at Ryan. He drips GOP-e. How in the heck did conservatives let him near the speakers chair?

[Paladin2]

Never put off until tomorrow that which can just as well be done the day after....
