The GOP's war against the poor and sick - Federal Deficit - Salon.com
Andrew Leonard - "The Tea Party version of government apparently just doesn't believe in helping people who can't help themselves. For the modern Republican Party, it's far far more important to ensure that those who will never need Medicaid -- the richest 1 percent of Americans, the people who are already doing quite fine as their market portfolios swell -- get their big fat tax cuts, adding up to $700 billion over the next 10 years, than that the poorest Americans get another $15 billion a year so that they can die in a manner that befits a nation that dares considers itself civilized."
Spending cuts anyone? Can the issue be any plainer? Can the choice be any clearer? No apologies necessary for either side. It's time to choose.
More work to do...
