GOP's Bullshit Sympathy for the Poor Ends
This is the most pathetic news of the week (via Kos). And that's saying a lot.
The Senate approved sweeping deficit-reduction legislation last night that would save about $35 billion over the next five years by cutting federal spending on prescription drugs, agriculture supports and student loans, while clamping down on fraud in the Medicaid program. [...]The focus now shifts to the House, where the Budget Committee voted 21 to 16 yesterday to approve a more extensive bill saving nearly $54 billion through 2010 with cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, student loans, agriculture subsidies and child support enforcement. The House measure would allow states to impose premiums and co-payments on poor Medicaid recipients for the first time.
Nothing like making the poorest victims of Katrina pay for the damage. Is it November 2006 yet? The Republicans of this era are shameless, corrupt motherfuckers -- the worst of the worst this country has ever known.
