Default GOP Challenge to Americans: Do More with Less
Today on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace questioned House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s (R-VA) on Paul Ryan's budget plan. Wallace mentioned that Medicaid funds would be cut by $750 billion:
WALLACE: But you are giving them less money to do it.

CANTOR: In terms of the baseline, that is correct…What we’re saying is there is so much imposition of a mandate that doesn’t relate to the actual quality of care. We believe if you put in place the mechanism that allow for personal choice as far as Medicare is concerned, as well as the programs in Medicaid, that we can actually get to a better resolve and do what most Americans are learning how to do, which is to do more with less. Do more with less. Do more with less.
This is the GOP's challenge to Americans.

Well, not ALL Americans. Mostly just poor Americans, and some middle class Americans too.
But rich Americans won't have to tackle that challenge. The GOP is making sure they'll be able to have more, not less. Much more. No "making do" for the rich. No sir.

In addition to savage cuts for poor folks, the Ryan plan calls for a massive tax cut on the richest Americans. The plan would sharply cut taxes on corporations and to bring the tax rate on high earners down to its lowest level since 1931.

Why? Because taxes are so high on the only interest group the Republicans really care about? Hardly.
