I really can't believe these lying fuckers....
Keep that in mind when reading the Washington Posts report on House Speaker Paul Ryans (R-Wis.) plans for what his party will do after it approves massive tax cuts for the wealthy.
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) said Wednesday that congressional Republicans will aim next year to reduce spending on both federal health care and anti-poverty programs, citing the need to reduce Americas deficit.
Were going to have to get back next year at entitlement reform, which is how you tackle the debt and the deficit, Ryan said during an appearance on Ross Kaminskys talk radio show. Frankly, its the health care entitlements that are the big drivers of our debt, so we spend more time on the health care entitlements because thats really where the problem lies, fiscally speaking.
Ryan said that he believes he has begun convincing President Trump in their private conversations about the need to rein in Medicare, the federal health program that primarily insures the elderly.
