Republicans Are Bringing Back Their Plan to Gut Social Security and Medicare
The GOP is nothing if not consistent - here we see them once again pursuing cuts to our entitlements like Social Security and Medicare after just forswearing such ideas. Included in this plan are the usual tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy that are the real justification for things like vouchers for Medicare so more crony pirate capitalist GOP donors can magnificently plunder the needy yet again.
The usual rape and plunder deregulatory schemes and other wild west libertarian anti-environmental changes are also included in the “new” plan that’s just the old plan in new words, along with the usual work requirements for any government entitlement or benefit.
So about the only thing you can respect the GOP for their consistent pursuit of wealth through scourging the poor and needy.
Republicans have claimed over and over again that they are not trying to cut Social Security and Medicare. Heck, Joe Biden got them to agree they would not make cuts to the programs in a memorable verbal maneuver during his State of the Union speech earlier this year.
And yet, the Republican Study Committee (of which some three quarters of House Republicans are in) just released its desired 2024 budget in which the party seeks to, you guessed it, cut Social Security and Medicare.
And note their seriousness. “The RSC Budget is more than just a financial statement. It is a statement of priorities,” the party assures in the document, released Wednesday.
