GOP budget takes aim at domestic programs

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans unveiled their latest budget outline on Tuesday, sticking to their plans to try to repeal so-called Obamacare, cut domestic programs ranging from Medicaid to college grants and require future Medicare patients to bear more of the program’s cost.

Gee, Congressman Ryan if we repeal Obamacare..can we have a Single Payer system?  After all, this is all about low cost health care? Right?  Wrong! This is about deconstructing government and its care for the needy.   Or could we have a just a Public Option next to all private sector insurers?  Oh, no, we can't have that either...so what can we have?  As the House GOP leadership whines and whines about our national debt....how many of them voted for this debt during the Bush-Cheney years? And our national debt is a problem but we do not destroy domestic services to pay for wars and high bracket tax rate reductions...

ObamaCare is designed, by its rules and regulations, to eventually put private insurance compaines out of business, leaving a Single Payer system. that's what the Medicaid Exchanges are for...Just ask Nancy Pelosi.

higher spending on domestic programs and additional tax hikes - that makes no sense

 

It does not "SLASH" spending. It just rediuces what is projected to be spent. Lower spending levels.

Interesting that Ryan uses the phrase "fair and balanced" to describe his latest proposal. Where have I heard that before? Hmmmmm. Oh that's right, Ailes, Murdoch and company over at Fox News. Just because you repeat something a ba-jillion times doesn't make it true.  True to form, but not true.

And over at MSNBC................

Ryan also want to halt projects such as this:

(CNSNews.com) – The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded $1.5 million to study biological and social factors for why “three-quarters” of lesbians are obese and why gay males are not, calling it an issue of “high public-health significance."

Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Mass., has received two grants administered by NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to study the relationship between sexual orientation and obesity.

Sounds good to me -- if there is a genetic or social component to obesity, this could be a good way to investigate. Of course, Miker6, I know you hate science, and women, so no surprise that you disapprove.

 

How many police, firefighters, and teachers did Obama say would have to be laid off instead to save that $1.5 million? You DO believe Obama and the Globe, don't you?
