House Republicans sure talk a big game on the debt and deficits. But words are one thing, actions are another. When it comes down to it, House Republicans have exploded the national debt and championed cuts to Medicare and Social Security all so that they can give handouts to the wealthy and large corporations.
“Seniors have spent a lifetime paying into Social Security and Medicare and don’t deserve to have their benefits slashed just because hypocritical Washington Republicans are fiscally irresponsible,” said DCCC Spokesman Tyler Law.
Just look at the GOP Tax Scam – a handout to millionaires and large corporations – that is going to add $1.9 trillion to the national debt.
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office recently projected that after just over a year of unified Republican control of Washington, the annual federal budget deficit is expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2020.
Now Washington Republicans are voting to advance a plan that AARP says could potentially lead to deep cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits. No one should be surprised, this is what Speaker Paul Ryan promised to do when he passed the tax scam.
