Opinion-Rick Scott's Medicare messiness

In Washington, acrimonious public disagreements among congressional leaders of the same party are unusual, which was why reporters took note not long ago when Sen. Mitch McConnell publicly spanked Sen. Rick Scott for what he considered an act of monumental stupidity.

What infuriated the Senate minority leader, who yearns above all to become the majority leader again, was Scott's unveiling of a 60-page "plan" describing what the Republicans will do if and when their party regains the majority. As chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Scott's job is to ensure victory in the November midterm by doling out tens of millions to candidates. But McConnell saw Scott's plan as the equivalent of a loud emission of noxious gas: unpleasant, unhelpful and very much to be avoided. McConnell has steadfastly refused to state what Republicans would do if they win the Senate; now, the lunkhead Rick Scott has let the cat out of the bag.

Especially irksome to McConnell were two aspects of Scott's blueprint. "Let me tell you what would not be part of our agenda," snapped McConnell. "We will not have, as part of our agenda, a bill that raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare within five years. That will not be part of the Republican Senate majority agenda."

Hey McConnell does your fucking staff ever type in your name and ask the obvious question....when did Mitch McConnell want to cut Social Security / Medicare ....well shit for brains this is from 4 years ago.... the only reason why your upset with this, is this fraudster Rick Scott Republican from Florida is that he leaked the GOP fascist plan a little early.....after all that shit for brains Scott defrauded Medicare to the the tune of 1.5 trillion and he didn't even go to jail.......or do you want me to research that gem for you also..... think I will..... so so everyone is on the same page.....

1. What I really want to know is WHY TF aren't we hearing MORE about this

than we are that Joe Biden is responsible for gas prices? The republican managed media companies have got to go. There needs to be a law/policy that media companies cannot be managed mainly by one party. There needs to be a bipartisan management.

2. Republicans' goals are not exactly a secret anymore Mitch.

Maybe to your stupid magats who still live on Trump’s lies, but not to those who have been watching what Republican politicians do. Rick Scott’s “rob from the poor and give it to the rich” plan is just Rick’s arrogance about the harm he intends to inflict if he ever becomes your Fuhrer.
